Here is the Tabloid on wheels, and I do have these drawings. My thoughts recently are to do both undercarriages for the project, (wheels as well as floats).
1, to make sure there is enough uumph to drag the floats up into the air and,
2 to give the plane options.
I happen to like this gear configuration with the skids, it gives the machine a bit of an archaic presence!
When I finish this, I'll be able to sit in it at the nursing home!  |
That really is a pretty aeroplane Joe, and the early style of undercarriage looks great.
Out of interest the Snipe prototype appears to have had a wooden undercarriage as in this picture of the 4th one.
They then went to steel undercarriages with the production models
