Howard DGA6 Mr Mulligan

[paul hughes]

I am in need of some assistance with the Undercarriage of a Mr Mulligan DGA6. I am building a 1/4 scale model and would like to fit a scale undercarriage but cant find any info or drawings. I know the Bud Nosen kit uses a bent aluminium and piano wire set up but i would like to do something a bit better.Any help with hinge type and suspension will be gratefully received. Thanks

Paul, if I remember correctly Harry Hartland did an article in the journal on the undercarriage Mount system he used in his Stinson. It used a system which used internal springing which worked very well. And was not visible on the outside.
If I find it I'll let you know
Cheers a Dave

Thanks Dave, can you remember how long ago this was?

Still need to find scale details. If anyone has detail of any Howard aircraft undercarriages please let me know.

Paul, Paul Matts scale airplane drawings volume 2 has drawings and a Black and White photo,not the best that I have seen.It looks like the top of the V ends are simply pivoted and the inner strut is attached to the fuz with a rubber compression block on the fuz centre line

Thanks Alan, some nice photos there but still a bit difficult to see how the suspension works.

Best I’ve got on file, but it looks a tad piper cubbish?
