sprung landing gear, front wheel assembly for skyhunter
Description
Hi, Take A Look At My Other Designs Https://Www.Thingiverse.Com/Mg_Evolution/Designs This Is Still A Work In Progress And Is Not Finished. I Have Designed This For My Micro Skyhunter. Fitted To The Plane : Https://Youtu.Be/Otwbvkb_Xnm Table Top Test : Https://Youtu.Be/Cgbfdjwhnn4 I Want To Make This Take Off And Land On Wheels So It Doesn'T Have To Be Thrown And It Doesn'T Break The Prop As I Land. The Spring Used In This Is 20Mm Long X 5Mm Dia. It Is Relativly Soft And Will More Than Likely Bottom Out On Landing But It Has Not Yet Been Tried. The Front Wheel Is Printed In 2 Halfs That Are A Mirror Image. The 2 Bolt Holes Are There To Line Up The Wheels When Gluing Them Together. I Used Gorilla Glue And Haven'T Cleaned It Up For The Pictures. As I Have It Pictured With The Long Bolts It'S Weight Is 8G. With The Suspension Fully Compressed On A Set Of Scales I Am Reading 550G. This Can Be Changed By Using A Stiffer Spring Or By Extending The Pivot Point Further Out Away From The Wheel. The Landing Gear Is Secured Through To The Inside With A 10Mm Long Self Taper Suitable For The 3Mm Hole. The Inside Support Has A 8Mm Wide Square To Sit In The Cut Out Of The Balsa Wood Insert In The Plane. I Printed The Wheels With 2 Walls And 8% Zigzag Infill In Cura. The Frame Was Printed With 2 Wall With Alternative Wall Set On And 15% Zigzag Infill In Cura All Pivot Holes Are Suitable For M3 Bolts. Nylocs Should Be Used To Stop Vibration Loosening Fixings.
