After the initial shock.....
put the aircraft together (mock) to see how the "working retract' would look and how it would sit on the ground.
The 100deg Wingspans sit nicely forward of the leading edge. Hopefully I wont have as much trouble with nose over
on take off as with my Hangar 9 Spitfire.
Also did up some non-scale propeller logos that will be printed on white decal paper when the time comes.
I had too many problems with trying to get the pin style hinges to work with the flaps and opted for a kind of
Fowler style drop down attachment. Works a charm, just have to hook up the servo linkages.
Once the hinges get ground off a bit and painted the same color as the underside, they should
not be too visible.
Have to do a bit of touch up airbrush painting to get a better blend of the tri-color anyways.


To all members a very Merry Christmas, a safe and happy holiday season!
Not to mention lots of building for the next season.


Happy building & flying.

Andreas
