Cylinder mount - IMPORTANT
There seems to be a minor issue with the mount that is used for the gear-door cylinder. This is typical of the kind of teething problems that kits have in their very first release (remember - this is something like the 6th kit produced), and my past experience with the Bobcat (where I also built a very early model, as well as 2 later kits) shows that BVM is extremely good at fixing these issues in very short order.
Here's the problem. I went to install the cylinder mount as excplained on page 13 of the manual... and found out that the part is about 3/16" shorter than the space it fits into. A quick sanity check to see whether I had screwed up found that the part is indeed undersized, as can be seen by comparing it to the detail plan (as seen in the photo below).
Furthermore, not only is the part too short - it also has the doubler positioned where it would interfere with W3.
