t-max, DGrant gave you all good advice. You can never make the landing gear mount area ''too strong''! A little extra well placed wood in that area is smart, and the small amount of additional weight is not a factor as it's very near the C/G. You're doing a nice job, keep it up. What are you going to use for covering? I would steer you away from Monokote and suggest using Ultracote. Have you seen ''K.C.'s'' fax T-28 that I recovered for him? That's Ultracote! I'am pleased to see you doing so well in both your flying and taking on a kit build. Good job! Regards, 52larry52
Yes I was there when he flew it for the first time since you recovered it, it looked great! Iv'e used both ultracote and monokote, the ultracote seems easier to apply but maybe not as tough, why do you suggest it? I liked it, just curious.
