Re: Carl Babst Raven Taildragger
Can you send some pics of the new undercarriage system? Looks nice.

The undercarraige is GROVE and has been imported into SA. I will upload some pics of it. It has to be removed again once the spray painting will be done...justin.schoeman wrote:Can you send some pics of the new undercarriage system? Looks nice.

Re: Carl Babst Raven Taildragger
How do the legs attach to the fuselage? Do you think it is something that can be retrofitted?Induna wrote:The undercarraige is GROVE and has been imported into SA. I will upload some pics of it.

Re: Carl Babst Raven Taildragger
Not an easy process and has to be done whilst construction, as it has to be fitted with the centre section leading edge to be open and accessible. Once installed everything is closed up...
Installing the legs are the easy part, but all the necessary brackets, etc on the inside of the cabin is where all the hard work is...

Re: Carl Babst Raven Taildragger
Thanks. Would have been nice if it was a simple retrofit... That gear looks a lot nicer than the old bungee system.

Re: Carl Babst Raven Taildragger
In real life it actually looks like a much bigger plane. If the weather gives us a break, i will pull her out of the hangar and take some pics around the aircraft...

Re: Carl Babst Raven Taildragger
Ek het vandag n paar fotos buite die hangar geneem. Ek sal dit netnou oplaai, moet eers resize...
Ek voel hierdie Raven gaan spesiaal wees. Ek dink nog aan kleurskemas. Ek het ook miskien n ou bosbok skema in gedagte (grys). Enige idees...?
