Boz Posted October 28, 2015 Author Share Posted October 28, 2015 well guys im stuck again, trying to build the undercarriage i have one side cut but am not sure i will be able to silver solder the several pieces that are very close together, however its the plans for same that i cant figure out this shows one side of axle looking at it from front right sidethis is same view left sidethis is side veiw of axle, there is not much information regarding the nuts bolts etc and how they fit together, or if i have to drill holes through the bottom x member, does anyone know how the thing fits together failing that anyone know where i could get the cut parts silver soldered, if anyone has built the 1/3 strutter from mick reaves any pics may help me, this part of the build could be above my skill level, thanks for looking boz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon H Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 This is why my pup is in its box. No instructions/info on critical parts of the build that most modelers will not have dealt with before. Gimme a minute to think and i will get back to you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boz Posted October 28, 2015 Author Share Posted October 28, 2015 Thanks Jon, the information in the plans is very space, novice builder or experienced builder would have quite a job interperating the drawings, I would have thought mick reaves would have put more info than two photos, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boz Posted December 7, 2015 Author Share Posted December 7, 2015 Well everyone, I'm having a few problems with the strutter build, I have come across a few things that I need to sort out with some people who are more knowledgeable than myself, until I can clear these problems up and get my build back on track I won't be doing any more work on the aircraft, I will carry on with the engine so will post those pics when I can, thanks for looking boz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boz Posted December 31, 2015 Author Share Posted December 31, 2015 Could someone take a look at the last 5/6 posts on my strutter build, re engine, and tell me if I've drilled the correct holes out this time, on the outer edge of engine there are some holes that are recessed into the engine case, these I've left, I have drilled the other holes, so may have made another mistake, thanks for looking boz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ME109 Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 I have not seen any posts from you re. engine build. Last posts are october then one 8th December saying you are having some difficulties but nothing about engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
