I thought it was something I said😄

Friend came round and showed me how to tram the mill table in. Learn something every day.

NDIY, Bob,

The Oleos were not made to scale as the mustang was a artf. (Almost ready to fly) so not a true scale plane.

The diameter of the main strut was 12mm overall length was 159mm

Futaba 16 sz is a farley high end radio for what you my need. There are loads of options depending on how many channels you require. Have a look at the model flying forum to get some ideas.

This was my first project finished in the summer. Pair of sprung Oleos for a 72” P51 Mustang. The dogleg was from a old broken set.

Hello

Been lurking in the background for a couple of months now.

Have been doing some sort of modelling for the past 40 years, started flying RC planes then went on to 1/8 Circuit RC cars. Then a lot (kids came along) back to the modelling with helicopters for a while, then back to RC cars ina big way 1/10 and 1/8 on and off road.

For the last 10 years flying again.

Acquired a lathe earlier in the year, a Sieg C2 ( always wanted one) knew nothing about them. Managed to make a couple pairs of oleos for myself and a friend very please with results.

Then went to a couple of shows and was hooked! Now have a Sieg C3 and Sx2P mill. Just happy making Swarf.

Phil.
