RE: Ziroli B-25 build pics
here is where the retract air bottle sits.....it is towards the wing trailing edge inside the fuse...i have decided to go with the removeable wing where the the fuse is attached to the wing by lowering the fuse on top...that way i can hide the wing attach bolts which will be accessible through the bombbay doors....all retract air lines and valve will be above the wing...reciever and battery below...decieded to do it that way as it will fit in my truck with the center section attached and will be on all 3 gears and no visible access panel lines. and if needed i can remove the wing center section for maint if needed. i am finding out that this plane will have a lot more equipment stuffed in a smaller package than the otter

the crutch assembly and the aluminum that goes through the wing chord line in this pic is only temporary..it is there for alignment purposes only to keep everything straight..it will be removed once there is more structure added to to hold it firmly in place
