She's motoring along..
Version wise, I must be a version 1 because I bought it before versions even existed!
Yeah the rail popped out because there wasn't a whole heap of glue there. I have been pretty soft with my landings with this one so I guess it took this good knock to pop them out. not too much damage other than to glue them back in properly. I like to have smallish screws holding the gear in as fail safe type devices.
Got to bust out the demel and cleanup the nose bulkhead and then I think I'll be pretty close to being able to re-install the nose gear. then it's just glue the wheel well back in and I'm away again. I also put a small dent into the exhaust of the turbine (from one of the gear legs ejecting aft). So I have machined up a dolly that matches the taper of the exhaust and i will be heating it up to a warm temp and tapping it out. hopefully it will come out all good.
Thanks
