Yea my strut is 13 5/8" from pivot to axle when fully extended with around 5" of oleo action. When i first started printing parts i thought I had the scale wrong as it didnt look that big on the computer. Lol

hah a "few bubbles, but it will due for a test model" LOL man its a better layup than anything you can buy, if you dont want it when your done testing I will take it
I love your attention to detail and the best part your not afraid to put some wood inside!!!!!!!!

Hey Peter before you close it up maybe put a small channel in the wood for light wires for the top strobe on the rudder

Awesome works, still would like a single canopy version when you get around to it. Bucket list item here for sure!
