Hi all, I need a bit of help with the Jungster 1 landing gear I have.
The set up that was with the plane when I started the rebuild has been modified from what is in the pictures I have from when it was new. The center attachment for the spring arms is now on a shallower angle down wards than the pics show when it was new. The pics of it when new seem to be closer to the plans shown depth of the V.
The effect of the current shallow V angle is to draw the gear in a bit narrowing the track 42 7/8 “ from CL tire to CL tire and giving quite a bit of + camber and some toe out in both level and 3 point ish attitude, it does provide a slightly higher gear which is good, but I’m thinking to maybe set it up with a slightly wider track ( I get about 47” if I drop the V height to a dimension closer to the plans ) reducing the + camber a bit and aiming for straight with maybe just a hint of toe out.
How much do folks think the springs with compress when the gear is fully loaded ?
I hope the pics give a good idea as to what’s I’m on about.
1st pics show Port gear in current configuration and starboard with deeper V location.
Then some more pics of gear in current configuration.
