With Hugh - great work Bill!

 

[N4521U]

So what do you think of the legs?????
It appears there was a cable from the top of the leg to the bottom to limit the travel.
I am cutting that cable on the Port side and letting the leg stretch out to near its limit.
Yhis is to give it the lopsided look, more damage.knuckle or whatever it's called to it's limit.
ain't this fun?????!

 

[Wurger]

looking a little bit croockedly.

 

[Wayne Little]

it looks like fun...

[Airframes]

Good stuff Bill.
The 'cable' was actually a steel rod, which 'telescoped' the oleo leg, retracting it to allow the main gear to fit into the wells.

 

[Crimea_River]

Yep there a a Good video of that i posted somewhere here but I'd have to go hunting. Not sure why the gear would be lopsided unless there was a leak in the oleo.

 

[A4K]

Can you shorten the length of the port leg a touch Bill to correct it's stance?

 

[N4521U]

Good to know it was a tube, now I know what it should look like broken and hanging off the strut.
I ADDED to the Port leg to get it skewiff........ It's Broke!
I've started painting exterior stuff, soon to be posted.
Thanks for lookin in y'all.
