Here it is, Part II of the tutorial, this time showing how to use Spline IK to rig the piston hoses. Sorry for the lousy explanation of why we need two different armatures (essentially “that will do crazy stuff”). True though! 😛 Anyway I hope you find it useful!

After several failed attempts I finally achieved a decent rig for the landing gear of the Gyrocopter. Hopefully you’ll be able to learn something from my first tutorial (ha!), or actually teach me something by pointing out how I could have done it in a better way 🙂 Thanks for watching!
