Next task (WINGS) The reinforcment of the wings should be much quicker than the stab. WOW!!!!, Was I shocked when I removed the sheeting, it appears that somewhere in this kits life a mouse, yeah thats right a MOUSE took up residence and was having a great time chewing the balsa ribs and skin, leaving behind little turds. In one of the photos you can see a round balsa patch in the top wing skin where the little critter chewed a hole and another where it chewed on the ribs.. Anyway I reinforced the gear mounts with triangle stock and epoxied the entire area with two part resin. Doing so will allow the resin to wick into areas that were not glued by the manufacturer it will make the wood structure much stronger. I guess I will find out when I do the first landing. I plan on using E-Flite retracts as it does'nt make sence to install more expensive gear in a plane that might leave the gear on the runway and the plane in the dirt. I also plan to make the inner gear doors on a door sequencer. See the photos.
