Rotating retract design other than Robart or Century Jet?
I am in the process of designing retractable landing gear for myself and I am interested in learning how manufacturers, other than Robart and Century Jet, accomplish a 90 degree rotation.
I have seen examples from Robart and CJM of anchoring the strut to force a twist when being retracted. Are their any manufacturers that possibly use a cam type setup for rotation?
Any help in form of pictures or descriptions would be appreciated.
Thanks
Norman

Hi.
The Eurokit u/c on my AD Rafale rotates 90 degrees. This picture may help you. Personally I think it is too wheek, but you can get the general idea.
