I decided to try some experiments bending up landing gear.

I want to get a sense of how music wire behaves. In a nutshell it’s pretty tricky. I find it hard to get all the bends on the same plane. Here’s a picture of some gear bent  by my experiment and another that I fixed up manually with pliers.

I wonder how to get the bends on the same plane easier.

I tried another experiment to put the landing gear wire into a gang and bend them with pliers. This worked surprisingly well. This is satisfactory for doing small runs. I think I am ready to have a meet-up to make planes with landing gear.
