Well i just got finished with the nose gear doors,both wings completed and vertical stab installed!! I purchased and installed high temperature red silicone sleeving on my tail feather servo leads to protect them from the exhaust heat and it really worked out well. I purchased it from Oreillys auto supply.Tomorrow i will install the air cylinder for the nose gear door and rhe front retract. One thing that i did different on this plane that i didn't do on the last one was i epoxied an 1/8 lighy ply onto the existing plate that the blind nut goes into to hold the wings on.Last timethe prongs on the blind nut almost came through the skin of the fuselage. Also iv'e pre shortened the wing bolts 1/4" to make sure they dont grind a hole into my fuel tanks when installing the wings Don't ask me how i know this!!
