Well finally after two years on the production line, many hours of swearing, today she rolled out (well carried out) for a complete systems check, all flight controls working fine, slight issue with right main wheel leg, plus had an airleak though soon sorted that.

One thing I have noticed is how close the main gear doors are to the deck, so unlike the real one am going to change the sequencer so that when the wheels come down, all doors open, then gear down then main doors close, don't want to take out the doors on landing

Once the list of snags are sorted hopefully go for an engine run next week.

Most the swearing went on making the mounting plate, and painted it to match
