Because I want a cargo ramp on the bottom, to allow for a small rover, the ground clearance has to be quite high. I also want the L/G to be sprung to absorb the impact of touchdown, and they'll have to fit at in a tight spot at an odd angle (both vertically and horizontally).
I've spent hours trying to figure out how I want these to mount.
I used the drawing (see previous post) as a template for the parts.
The mock-up of the mech works as expected (shown below, without the "leg" part attached).
They'll be painted eventually.
I had to make a small mod to stop the coil spring clashing with the lower arm.
I think I'll have to make it a bit shorter too.
