Title: repairing freewing f16 gear
Post by: Noah on April 30, 2025, 11:38:30 AM
so since the last time i flew my f16 although both landings were fairly good i noticed some gear issues

1. part of the main gear mounting bracket broke off. this was a simple fix using some epoxy, just had to make sure it didnt block the gear from retracting.

2. after the second flight last time i noticed my nose wheel has bended quite substantially. i am going to try and save that broken strut however in the meantime i have ordered replacements which are arriving saturday. decided to take the C clips off the nosewheel already to make it easier on myself later on. therefore the nose gear is kind of just hanging right now.

will update this post once i get my parts in.
