This is the beginning of a marathon build. I have started a Bud Nosen P-47 kit. It will have a Q-100, Annco retracts and wheels and fiberglass cowl. It will probably get a Meister razor back and canopy. Also will most likely have a retractable tail wheel. The progress so far is pretty straight forward. The first changes to be made will involve modifying the formers to accept an engine mount box that will extend back to the wing. Comments and suggestions will be appreciated ( as long as you are nice

)
Thanks

The Annco gear looks very good. It positive locks both up and down. I do not know where this cowl comes from, but I have read several other posts that say the Meister cowl should work.

Here is the cowl in position before mounting it. There is a cowl ring that glues to the inside of the cowl. Then there are 1/2" dia x 2" long dowels that go from the fire wall to the cowl ring.

These pics show the cowl after the initial mounting. I will be adding more braces between the cowl and cowl ring later.

This is the horizontal stab tacked together. I still need to glue in hinge points. Then sand the leading and trailing edge to shape.

Looking ahead, here is a pic of the wing ribs. There is also a pic of the wing plan. I will be doubling the supplied balsa ribs with 1/8" ply in the areas marked in red. These ribs will be cut out to accept the retracts and wheels. Does anyone have any suggestions for getting the gear to line up so the wheels point straight ahead?
