assembled model

new view of can

close up view of can and special landing gear - I used 3/16" dia music wire -bound at bottom and spread at top - the covering is high shrink heat shrink tubing.
The gear weighs 8.8 ounces.
It is much less expensive than aluminum and takes up shock loads better than aluminum or CF-
If it is badly damaged the replacement cost is under 8 bucks.

Which model is that?
What size motor?

My buddies at the mill appreciate the steel gear.

look at prior thread - I screwed up and did my posting wrong--
it is a ZDZ60 w/ WJ38A carb-my addition

Come on GUYS..... thank Dick H. for his time and effort...showing how to do very nice setups for your planes. Thanks for all the neat photos you have posted. Keep them coming. Captinjohn

Very Nice Job. I like the landing gear idea. Ron




Oh ya "Thank You very much"
