I am beginning to build a radial skybolt. I have the standard plans and of course the radial plans with the three piece wing. I am puzzled about the gear. At station five the plans show what appears to be where the bungies would attach to the gear except the fixture appears to mount below the fuselage bottom longerons instead of above them. There are no drawings of any kind showing a different landing gear and the gear drawn on the standard plans don't appear to work. When i call steen aero they are very vague, telling me that they havent built one yet and to go to this forum for help. I have seen several threads talking about hydraulic gear. where is this info available? Has anyone else had this problem or am I missing something from my plans. Any help would be appreciated.

The Biplane Forum is a large global active community of biplane builders, owners and pilots. From Pitts to Skybolts, to older barnstormers, all types are welcome. In addition to our active community, our content boasts exhaustive technical information which is often sought after for projects and maintenance. This information has accumulated over the 12+ years the forum has been in existence.
The Biplane Forum is a private community. Subscriptions are only $49.99/year or $6.99/month to gain access to this great community and unmatched source of information not found anywhere else on the web. We are also a great resource for non biplane users, since many GA aircraft are built the same way (fabric and tube construction). Annual membership also comes with two BiplaneForum.com decals.
