  1. Thanks all for the help with this. After more hours than I care to admit I finally got the gear to work in Fusion 360. One of the big issues I had was that the gear resting position is not when its sitting on the ground , but when its flying. The shock absorber needs to be fully extended for the gear to swing back all the way. And I also found that the linkage on that locking knuckle is very sensitive to ratios between pivot points. Much respect to the guys that did the original design using slide rulers and paper blueprints. Now comes the really hard pa
  2. Thanks all, the aft strut could not be seen in the photos I was looking at as it was hidden behind the main gear strut.
  3. I modeled it as best I could in Fusion 360 and the hydraulic cylinder does not appear to have enough throw to move the gear into the gear bay. That swing 90 deg aft has to come from somewhere else.
  4. Can anyone here describe how the Landing gear on the S-3 Viking is actuated? I'm tying to build an RC model of the Viking and am stuck on the gear design. I'm trying to figure out how the gear is actually rotated. I only see the one hydraulic cylinder on the bracing strut and that does not appear to have enough throw to retract the gear fully. I modeled it in fusion 360 and its not enough to move it. The main strut and shock absorber are hinged to the bulkhead but do not appear, at least to me, to have any hydraulics that would rotate them. What am I m
  5. Anyone know how the main landing gear works on the sluf? What actually articulates the gear struts. The ends of the main strut and shock absorber are mounted to the fuse with hinges. Where is the prime mover that moves those struts and how does it move them?
  6. ok, thanks I did find side and front views, just no top view DS_STT-defense_EN-met_A4.pdf
  7. Great CAD and print work Would love to make a larger version to go with RC planes Do you have a good source for 3 view drawings of the STT that you can share? TIA
