The original undercarriage consisted of solid steel legs with what appeared to be wheel barrow wheels and drum type brakes. They were in a sorry state so I will be replacing them with Wagabond undercarriage and new Grove wheels and brakes.
The original spring legs where fitted on to fuselage with some very odd fittings, worm clips included.
I have removed all the existing fittings and will be replacing them with Wagabond fittings.
Front fitting position cleaned.
Rear fitting position cleaned.
Steel tubing ready for the new undercarriage and a few tube replacements
Undercarriage jig for fuselage fitment (1)
Undercarriage jig for fuselage fitment (2)
Jig for tube placement for the gear legs
I made a jig to cut the tube to fit the undercarriage legs. I need to beef up the drill jig a bit.
This is a test piece to see how it works.
