Yesterday attention was turned to the pointy bit, the hatch cylinders were a pain to access for cleaning piston rods and connection tubing.
The nose gear was taken out for inspection, steering servo fitting etc.this made it easier to connect the front door cylinder tubing and routing.
Nice inner cover to stop air entering (same on air brakes and rear doors), this is a nice touch by FB but does make installation a bit trickier.
This cover will make it easier though to attach batteries etc to and save the extra weight of plywood mounts, good 'ole Velcro here!
I do very much like the retracts in this model, substantial 1" cylinders (neccessary on the L39 because of the forward retracting of the leg).
Note the way the cylinders are attached, very simple to remove for servicing, another nice touch, no doubt about it the Chinese manufacturers standards and design are improving rapidly, maybe FEJ scared them a bit with their adverse publicity!
Front airlines not tidied up yet.
