adding the landing gear


The plane is progressing rapidly.  The wings and body are complete.  Today I worked on the landing gear.  I had to cut into the frame and add t joints. The landing gear is made from 20 inch bicycle wheels.  I plan on using smaller wheels from a golf pull cart.  The wheels are in a tripod figure.  Support come from the top of the wing to the fork holding the front wheel.   All tubing is 1/2 inch  rigid copper.  the plane is quit large as you can see me standing behind it.  Next is the motor.
