Help with custom landing gear

1,671 MarshallLewisAerospace  6.2 years ago

So, I'm working on my first aircraft to post here, (may post something else in the interim, not sure yet...) and seem to be running in to a wall with regards to landing gear. I have gotten the nose gear to retract nicely, but am having trouble making a set of main gear that retract away nicely in to the aircraft. I'm attempting to make a multi-wheeled bogie for each main gear, but each time a make a test rig for a potential design there's an issue with the wheels not going in all the way or exploding when they do. Does anyone have some tips on making this work?
