Flite Test Mini Guinea Front and Rear Landing Gear (Fixed)

Last crawled date: 4 years, 3 months ago

These are parts to mount landing gear on the Flite Test Mini Guinea. They are meant to be used with the Flite Test medium landing gear wire and the 2" wheels for the rear gear and the Flite Test mini 1.1" wheel for the front gear. the front gear is NOT steerable, but much stronger then the steerable gear detailed in the official plans. The rear gear is a massive improvement from the design detailed in the official plans, it withstands the elements much better and can definitely take many more hard landings. I also included 2 spacers in the design, I would definitely use them if you are using the wheels recommended above, as it prevents them from scraping the side of the fuselage. The front gear is meant to be cross reinforced with small sized Popsicle sticks mounted in the 2 slots going across the mount.
When printed the hole may be too small for the wire, in this case, just mount a section of the wire in a vice or something similar. When mounted, wiggle the part onto the wire, making the hole large enough as you go.
