Hey Guys...

I managed to get the sheeting on the bottom of the wing, and have been working through final mounting and alignment of the retracts. I will use blind nuts and cap screws for attachment also, I have been able to get 3 1/2" tires to fit fine. I'm hoping I've got enough forward angle of the gear for proper ground handling. Thanks again Terry for the insight on the landing gear angle.

Thanks to all for the input on the different ways to go about retract installation, very helpful...

Hey Grumpy, Enjoy the P-47 build! I'll bet the AT-6 will give you some great flying experience, and I'm guessing that the Saito 1.25 will be a great engine for the plane.

Build well!
