LMGA assemblies (2.0 hrs)
Finally something easy to make!
The tubes that support the landing gear bow were pretty straight forward to build.
Basically I put the 4130 steel tube in the lathe, and sanded it down to a smooth metal finish, then knurled the surface (with a knurling attachment), cut them to size (with a parting attachment), and finally faced and beveled the ends.

The fit is really tight and gives me a warm fuzzy feeling that nothing is going to come loose anytime soon.
