Default RE: Composite ARF Tucano Build

Hey Colin, need some photo's.

Also, make sure you grind a pocket at the top of the 8mm dowell for the nose wheel strut where the grub screw on the retaining collar goes, I had my nose leg drop out after rotaion last weekend. All was good with the landing , cut the turbine on short final (prop keeps windmilling) and held the nose up once the mains touched (real easy) and steered into the long grass which arrested the prop just as the nose rotated over. Only damage was the hinges on the nose doors, kissed on the proverbial d%^k.
