Pietenpol-List: Landing gear "misalignment" question....

Post by matronics »

Original Posted By: "Oscar Zuniga"
I'm having trouble figuring out how to get the ash piece lined up with the spruce"V" pieces on my straight axle landing gear.I aligned the ash piece with the centerline of the fuse but it looks like thatmakes it misalign with the rest of the gear. Maybe I should "move it out" to alignwith the spruce V's? That would probably look better but if I leave it asis, I can do some trimming and blend it all in..... It looks like I could doa bit of trimming to the spruce pieces and get their edges to line up then "toeout" the ash piece......I believe the integrity of the intersection wouldbe maintained....esthetically it might look strange though....just don't know....Can someone tell me if you just trim and cut and sand to fit or move the ash pieceout to where it aligns with the spruce vertical V pieces or what????Anyone have some ideas on my problem (if it really is a problem) or do I just needto "trim to fit"?Thanks!JM(I cropped the picture a LOT to avoid confusing anyone with any of the strangeitems in my workshop.........)________________________________________________________________________________
