Default RE: Charlie Kellogg's TBM Avenger Build

Chic,

What's happening with that Avenger? No updates?

I started with the center section, which required that I massage some of the laser cut parts from PCK, and am now getting the retracts/gear rails lined up. Not the easiest, as it has been mentioned in Hans' abandoned thread on RCSB. Since I don't have 3 sets of hands, I'm using modeler's clay to support the gear in the proper location (and up, off the building surface) so that I can appropriately adjust the slots in the ribs that accommodate the gear rails. This is one of the most important steps, so I am taking my time to make sure that the gear location exactly match the plans. I think that I got it all figured out now. Once the gear rails are set, the rest should be cake.

Give us an update.

Regards,

Noah
