There are two styles for the Piet, I'm building the "Jenny" style.

Gear leg

in the jig, ready to be glued..

After glueing up the legs, you'll cover both sides with 1/8 ply...then you'll round off the edges like the tail feathers.

Be sure to put your cross brace in the right location. I failed to do that and after completly finishing the gear, found out they will not fit. So I get to do all this again.
