Default Seagull Twin Comanche Mods

I started this Thread to share modification ideas for the Seagull Twin Comanche Kit and the Electric Powered configuration.
There is another Thread for this kit on RC Universe but the Thread creator requested that it stay focused on Gas/Glow power. There is an Electric Twin Comanche Thread on the RC Groups Forum, but it seemed like an RC Universe version was appropriate. Some of the Mods related to Retract Landing Gear I also posted in the other thread since they were applicable to gas/glow version of this kit as well.

Some of the Mods incorporated solves some of the common problems/complaints
1) Shorten main gear length to get more accurate stance while retaining use of the Mustang style Legs
2) Main Landing gear door solution for a more scale appearance.
3) Reinforcement of the Main Landing Gear mounts
4) Nose Gear mounting reworked to get more accurate scale appearance with 5 deg forward rake using standard 90 degree retract unit.
