nose gear back-up/foldup tubes
Posted: Sat Feb 18, 2012 10:24 am
Hi Bob,
My partner, Clint, made the inserts out of pvc tubing, the idea came from someone on this list. they are slit open on the bottoms to a width that allows them to snap on over/around the cylinder rods. to assist in installation and removal, they have pcv handles glued to them at about a 70 degree angle. to avoid departure with them installed we painted them red. we have flown with them installed before we ready to try inflight retraction. no problems.
hope this helps.
Andy
