Nice video! That gear is really a work of art.

Nice build thread...wish I had the patience to build a plane from scratch

Living in Canada , our winters are long and also being retired or as the ex would say, "retarded" LOL I do have time to hibernate in the shop, plus when what you're doing is your passion, well, you don't need patience, but to fix a water leak in the house , now that needs patience LOL

That's funny right there. I think "ALL" "ex's" say we're retarded. 'Specially because we play with "toy" planes. LOL... But I would sooner have a passion for this hobby than what so many others have. So you have a water leak? Hmm....I have a "semi" stopped up drain. I also have a motor to mount on a Sukhoi, finish up a build for a friend, prep the working area for a couple of new "toy" planes... Not sure I would refer to it as patience. More like keeping priorities straight. Yeah, the sink is still plugged.

Love the workings of those retracts. I assume you will have oleo struts?

Thanks , and yes I will have oleos bugt they are a bit complicated because I can't put the knee action since the original doesn't have them so I need to find the proper way to stop the rotation..

I have just started a new build thread of the Dalotel Junior, which will be in parallel with the larger Dalotel,
This will be a sport scale only. Just look if interested for "Dalotel Junior"

Roger, What do the plans show about the landing gear design?

Hey Mathew, not sure on your question, but the drawing shows the landing gear leg as a oleo design but the anti rotation would seem to be internal

Hey Roger, I guess I should have asked for a pictures of the landing gear details.

I'll CAD something up on an internal anti-rotation idea I've had. What is the over all outside diameter of the strut you will be using? Or you could e-mail me more dimensional specification on the size your landing gear will be.

P.S. there are two t's in my name lol
