Title: Assembled Landing Gear into wing
With the wing inverted for the final skinning, I was able to install the landing gear. I installed the gear leg, the retract arm and link, the lower fork, the brake and axle and finally the wheel. This is the first time everything's been together. I will take it apart a couple of times before I'm done. The gear is another area where Dalotel and St. Poulet et Fils did a fantastic job on the build. The lower bushings for the leg are held in place by four set screws that were custom machined just for this purpose. Once fully installed, a wire ring wraps around the gear leg in a machined slot that lines up with the screw slots. Very clean. Assembling it will allow me to raise and lower the gear to determine the skin cutout for the gear and gear door.
