trial fitting the wheel in the wheel well before I drill the hole in the oleo with the proper angle,

Hey Roger,

What did you use for the dampening in the strut?

Hey Matthew, I am looking at a double spring, meaning a strong outer spring with a weaker inner spring, but so far my problem is how I will be able to install it or remove it , the original used dampening rubber inserts, and this might also be an option

a bit more work done on the landing gear, measure 10 times before cutting LOL

You will notice with the wheel, its not at 90 degrees, this is because I needed to make sure I had a bit of toe in when the wheels were retracted.

Wow....It finally dawned on me how big this plane is going to be. The sixth picture of you holding the gear with your hand is a clear indication this is no tinker toy airplane. Once again I must restrain myself from gassin' up my truck to make the little jaunt to your shop just so I can behold the massiveness of this awesome plane. Lovin' it!

any time just drop in, but I do know you live quite a distance , since you gave me the idea for the anti rotation, something else to think about, the dampening action, the original had rubber inserts

after testing the plywood mockup, I cut some aluminum

one more step, and if all goes well I will run the retract servo with the full weight of the gear.
