That is awesome. Just wish I knew what he has forgot about building.

Well this week has been a mess. First I spent a ton of time re-wiring my limits switches to a cool harness then realized I had wired me primary limits as my over-travel limits. Darn thing won't work like that
. Then I had a old jumper that had a bad solder joint, but not being on the ball I rewired everything before checking that old jumper
. But...... tonight I actually ran one of the two left side gears with my cool "Gear Actuators By Birger" controller
. I will get some video tomorrow as I still need to wirer the other limits and motor. Was kind of cool having my over-travels in the motor circuit as I started with the motor polarity reversed and the motor ran into the over-travel and shut everything down with out tearing it all up.
Rock ON!!!

Thanks, keep in mind this is just that mock-up. Just to make sure everything works right. The one which will be used will have a bit shorter travel, u-joints from the motor to the lead screw, and the two systems will be .5" closer. These are all the adjustments I figured out I need.

Got a bunch done yesterday. I feel now that I know what will work, and what needs to be adjusted a bit. These mock-ups have done their jobs. I just have to finish the gear door linkage and test that, then I am ready to start making the gear system which will be in the plane.
What will be changed/adjusted.
Travel shortened by .75" up.
Two lead screws will be .5" closer.
U-joints added between motor/lead screw (I will have more room for this as I will shorten the travel).

I got derailed on my gear doors by the placement and wiring on my limit switches.
With adjusting travel and moving the two gear closer together I saw I could shorten a bunch of wire by putting my primary limits inboard, and my over-travel outboard.
So I have tom update my 3D and make sure it all fits.

All my planes for the last 10 years have been 100% scratch, except a few PZ type foam planes.
Both my Emmaselle, and EII were 100% made up in my mind and I just built them. The C130 has always been one of my loves. Plus my B36 will fly one day, just one hold right now.....
