My dad and I before he passed away built a Glasair III with a Lycoming IO-540. The retract on that was pretty basic but the actual build took us about 2 years and I thought that was complicated!! Looking at you and the fine detail just blows my mind lol
Nice to see a young man BUILD a plane rather than ARF. Not many kits still in production now days but Zirolli and a few others still have plans available .
Your asking a lot of solder to hold up for the landing gear. Maybe consider brazing or Tig welding when it breaks , that type of weld will not break like solder will.
Good job young man!!
Thank you so much for making this excellent video. Now I understand how the long axle is rotated by a single servo and makes both gear retracts deploy without buckling. You didn't show forming the small "eyes" to make pivot points for the U shaped part, ( must be a combination of pulling and bending wire around a post and forcing it tightly around with vice grips and some profanity). I might try using a torch and silver soldering parts instead of soft soldering. "E-Challenged on RC Groups"
A nice modifications. Soft solder joints must have been stronger than I would think. Nice finished model.
Very nice job!
Yep, Great Video Troy! Thank you for sharing your ideas, skills and know-how. Very inspirational.

Super glad to see no foam! A real hobbyist, I was thinking I'm alone in the balsa world.
you're not alone. well, I use wood and CF but still....
i like foam, because i can build, and crash, for cheap . i love balsa, and have built many aircraft that way. it always feels a little wrong, like i am cheating when i use foam. you are not alone.
I use both. Balsa is for precision. Foam is for quick fun.
I would happily let a kid fly my foam board trainer. Fatal crash? It was Dollar Tree foam!
Thus, they both have their place.
Thank you! Well done! You have a new subscriber. After watching your videos I decided to build my first homemade rc balsa plane: a piper j3 cub.
Excellent quality video and very clever modification! Thank you!!
Your work you do is so inspiring its unbelievable. How do you find time to build all and even more do videos editing and all its 🤯
I have so many unfinished projects sitting on the shelve but impossible to find time for these, work life ahhh☹️
Your craftsmanship is great! The only thing I have a concern is soldering joint between the retract and the wheel axle. I guess you put too much confidence on solder. In a heavy landing, the axle may break! Take care.
That’s awesome build a lot of time and effort well done brother and thanks for sharing
Nicely done cool vid
Brilliant whole build was.
Really cool!
Have been wondering myself on how to make decent looking landing gear.
Very nice! good instructional. I wonder if I can get something like this to work with the foam-board air frame without too much weight, haha
That's something I'd like to try haha
Hey I love balsa to and fiberglass
A real Modelmaker !
Very nice job. Great building, very motivational!
Good job on this!
A hobby wire bending jig would have made bending the wire a lot easier, if you had one. Looks more like brass tubing not copper.
Clever work! Really nice DC-3. This has given me ideas for my Sturmovik.🤙🏻
I was amazed at how well the soft-soldered joints held up. Did you use common 60/40 tin/lead rosin core solder and rosin flux? What wattage iron did you use?. Surprised that the plastic wheel hubs didn't melt from soldering heat.
Ya I definitely was careful not to get the metal to hot to melt the tire. I used rosin flux I was surprised how well this worked for lading gear I had a view problems with the first few flights. But after all the landing revealed all the weak spots I was able to fix them up and have not had any other problems with it.
Nice work chief !
Nice build! You used low-temo solder? I'd think silver solder would be more relevant? Any thoughts on durability?
🙏🙏🙏
well done mate
did you make the main vertical landing gear lock on the way down ?
That is awesome
Now that's somthing cool! ❤
Nicer watching with sound muted.
대박이네 ㅇㅇ!
Wow! good job 2 thumbs up!
So why did you use the larger wheel??
🔥🔥🔥
Thank You B!!!!!
How many DC-3 was you building until today?
Great
🤟👍
Beautiful airplane sweet retractable gear,what no flaps??☺
see flaps at 15:52 :D
Can some one show me how to do 90 degree flaps high wing airplane signal engine cub sty-al
Sorry, but the engine cowlings are of a DC-2! Good job though!
Ditch the stupid sound noise. It detracts from an otherwise very good instruction.
What kit is it ?
brodak 60 inch
More of a "watch me build" rather than a "how to build" video.
That is one very nice DC-3. The kit is impressive. Your build is impressive. Well done with the air frame. The design of your retractable gear is very well done. That's the good part. Your video production is not so good. All the fast forward makes it hard to see the detail of the landing gear parts. It would have been better to show just one side and say the other is the same. You have no mechanical connections. The butt joints and solder will eventually fail. Where you have butt joints, flatten the end of the wire and make a wrap.
Жалко что в России за такое хобби в тюрьме можно оказаться...
Muy bueno el tren retractil. Podes visitar tambien www.charlymodel.net

I purchased some excellent plans from the Woodprix website.
