Scale Gear for Avonds F-15
I'm just about to start building an Avonds F-15 and believe that JHH do a scale set of gear but I cannot find any pictures of it at all. Does anyone know of any web sites that detail this gear or has anyone got any pictures they could post here?
Thanks for any help.

Scale Gear for Avonds F-15
Mark,
Can you wait a few months for the gear for your bird? How far along is the construction on the kit? JHH has some pretty nice gear for the Eagle, but at the end of the year, Yellow Aircraft's F-15 gear will be available. They're extremely true-to-scale (they even have landing lights on them), and the cost for the set (non-rotating), including ball-bearing wheels and pneumatic brakes will be less than the cost of the JHH gear alone. Email if you have any questions!

F-15 Landing Gear
Hi Shaun,
Will there be a rotating version of the same landing gear?
I have an F-15 which is still boxed and I am still collecting the stuff I need to scale the plane. Will there be an announcement of their availability either here or on other jet/regular magazine?
Thanks.

Reuben,
No, they aren't gonna be rotating ones. The Yellow Eagle is for single-engine use, be it turbine or DF, so there was no need. Since the non-rotating are simpler and more reliable, they are only gonna make those. They're a lot less expensive that way, too.

Scale Gear for Avonds F-15
Thanks guys,
I'm at the stage where I'm also collecting the bits I need for the model so I could potentially hold out for the Yellow Aircraft gear. Bit of a daft question but the pictures posted above are of the JHH struts(?) or are they pictures of protoype Yellow Aircraft struts?
Any idea of the cost or exactly when the YA struts will be available? Finally, do you know if they'll drop in the Avonds F-15 without modifying it?
Thanks again.
