Bolly gear

[Dean Pappas]

Hi Rich,
More than a few of us heat twist carbon and fiberglass props (actually we did that for a long time before we started twisting APCs).
You could straighten a mis-shaped landing gear the same way, I'll bet.
Regards,
    Dean

I'm retracting this statement pending further investigation.  They aren't as consistent as I first thought which makes me think that possibly they were mishandled somewhere between the mold and my basement.

Gents,
 
Putting the "totaled" Temptation back together and fine tuning a few things.  Using the swept Bolly gear--to get the axles perpendicular to the CL of the fuse., the legs have to be pulled forward a few degrees before attachment, the left appears to be molded at a different angle than the right and the airfoil LE is slightly canted toward the fuse and consequently will throw off trim. I thought 'that can't be right'.....Looked at Temp #2 and it's the same way.  Anyone notice this before?  I really don't think there's an acceptable fix--I'm just pi**ing and moaning as I've got to pitch these and do something else.(if I want a trimable? airplane)
