Wing : gear doors
Since the fins are done (apart from glassing + adding the control rod), I'm going to jump back to the wing. I previously stopped at the point where I needed the missing retract cover plates in order to work on the gear doors. BVM has since sent these parts not just to me, but to all Balsa Super Bandit customers.
The enclosed photo shows the gear installed (minus wheel), with the strut cover on, and the retract cover is sitting upside down to show the ply spacers that adjust the height of the ply part to match the basla wing sheeting. You can also see the reinforcement in the wheel well area - BV suggests 6oz cloth as an option here, but I didn't have any lying around, so I used some 1/2 oz CF with 3 oz fibreglass layered on top of it.
