F4F Wildcat Landing Gear

This is the first prototype of our 1:6.4 scale landing gear for the Grumman F4F-3 Wildcat. The gear is made of 3D printed parts with fully functional shock absorbers, support springs and 1/4'' roller chain. It is powered by a 12 V motor with a worm gear and encoders. The motor is controlled by a RoboClaw motion controller. A hall sensor is used to find the exact gear down position.

Missing is the hand crank that you have to turn 29 times.
