I will not be adding wheel wells. I would be too afraid of compromising the wing integrity.are you going to be making some wheel wells for scale looks?
The shocks are mounted by boring a hole in the wing surface immediately behind the wing leading edge. GorillaGlue+water+glassBalloons is then rammed into the cavity. Finally the shock tube is inserted into the hole.How did you mount the shocks to the wing?
The gorilla glue mixture expands approximately 3x, creating a rigid foam amoeba inside the wing cavity.
I will make a brass or plywood collar plate that will rest on the outside of the lower surface where the shock enters the wing- to spread the force from any rearward deflections.
Gear is mounted a smidge forward rake. (1 degree of wing incidence + 91 additional degrees of landing strut incidence.) And mounted with 1-2 degrees of TOE-IN.
