Scratch Built Collective Pitch 3D Pro Hybrid
Part 3 - Undercarriage
The landing gear is made up from delrin support struts and carbon skids.
It is dimensionally a little larger than the 3D Pro landing gear.
A plate is fitted to the top of the landing gear as a fixing point for the ESC and BEC.
I fabricated two struts out of 9mm thick delrin. These have fixing points to connect to the side frames and to fix the skids.
To finish off the top of the struts I have CA'ed small pieces of carbon.
The landing gear components can be seen here, the skids are fabricated from 1.5mm thick carbon
Assembly s straight forward using M2 bolts and nyloc nuts.
The electronics plate is held in place with small self tapping screws
The landing gear is then bolted in place using M3 bolts and nyloc nuts
This picture shows the provision made at the rear of the skids to attach the tailboom supports.
