Milling Op4's soft-jaws for the RC L-1011 airliner nose gear upper drag brace. Soft-jaws are used to hold/clamp a part in place in order to mill a specific portion of it.

Verifying the freshly CNC milled soft jaws for the RC L-1011 Nose Gear Uppers Drag Brace are correct. These are for Op 2 of 4. You can see a 3D printed brace used as a stand in.
On to make the next set.

Assembly layout of the L-1011 RC airplane parts made from resin 3D printed parts and some lathe turned parts.
These are all the parts for the nose gear of the RC L-1011. Shown are the 3D printed and lathe turned prototype pieces laid out.
This week I start machining the 3D printed parts from aluminum on the CNC Mill.

Terrance with tooling ready to make parts on the Tormach CNC Mill.
The new CNC Mill is finally in the workshop ready to start making landing for the L-1011 kit next week. The last of the tooling arrived yesterday.
LET MAKE RC LANDING GEAR!!
