Wheels and landinggear
16/7 As opposed to most cars, the wheelrims are made of two halves that are bolted
together.
The reason for this is to avoid ripping the tires of in a bad landing.
Which could be very hasardous.

17/7 The undercarriage is steel legs. (heavy). There are no dampers, the gearleg
deliver all the damping necessary. There are, however, rubberdiscs between the nosegearleg
and the enginemount.
The maingearlegs is mounted to some large brackets that are bolted to the fuselage
and the wingspar.
In order to mount the legs on the fuselage, we put the fuselage on a table on some cushions.

18/7 The undercarriage is done.

10/10 The wheelfairings are assembled and ready to go on the plane.

10/10 The plane i raised to get rid of any pressure on the main gear.
To simulate how the plane is positioned i flight, it is leveled out. You do that
to assure that the aerodynamic drag, from the fairings is as low as possible when airborne
