PBY gear retracts

[@orojasp]

Impressive! I came here searching ideas to add a landing gear for a Catalina from GreatPlanes that I bought today. I dont want to drill the bottom of the plane, that let me use it after to land on water, I think my first attempt gonna be a specie of bed made of wire with wheels just taped to the bottom of the plane. Your landing gear looks great, very detalied scale, and works like a charm! Very impressive!!

Fascinating !! ...as well as awesome !!...Will this work on a 1/32 F4F ???

I have an old Aristocraft 1/8 scale F3F-2 kit and need a main gear that looks like and works like this. I too would want a sketch and dimensions of all parts so I could figure out how to scale off. If you sell the gear, like the modeller suggested below, I'd still want that sketch and then I'd suggest you could make me a custom F3F gear to fit the barrel contour.

How'd you know I was going to build a PBY in 2020? The instructions from my kit are worthless. Your work is inspiring.

There's a little tab above the wheel that fits with the fuselage.

[@denniscepello1290]

Anyway to get the plans or drawings of this gear?

[@quipayano962]
