Pretty nice setup, has pin hinges on all rudder, elevator, and ailerons, the flaps are skin type hinges on bottom. They are very nice, well aligned, and easily removed to aide in the build process.

Hey Rich! You had asked about the Jet Central logo. I am putting the Jet Central logo on the Vixen but was going to do post production. All good
. A brand new Rhino SP will be providing the now 45lbs of thrust for this baby. Jose at Jet Central is a pleasure and we are proud to be a Jet Central dealer.

Started on the Vixen, since I have pneumatic landing gear and brakes decided to follow the trend with an air cylinders on the nose gear door and the air brake, plenty still left in the old part box. The fit on the nose gear door is unreal, very well aligned and tight.

Got to spend some time today on the Vixen, installing the Main Gear, everything went well on the install. I chose to change up the retract mount by spacing the mounts with 1/4" plywood shims, lowers the tire in the wheel well so it is near flush with the wing surface, had to replace the supplied screws with longer 20mm long screws. The routing of the air lines is pretty neat, a c/f tube in the wing provides a tunnel to run servo wires and air lines. The fit on the main gear strut door was so tight I elected to sand some off the back edge for additional clearance, also some filing on the retract cover for additional clearance for the brake line, this routing of the brake air tubing is nice, no pinching of the air line when moving. So far things are going well.

Good to see her coming along.
The design has many little 'helps' like the cf wing tube for routing cable etc, its a PITA trying to find a route through wings when nothing is designed into he structure, spent many frustrating hours feeding bath plug chain into wings hoping to see it emerge where it was needed!
