Finally had time to start on the Mustang today. It is going quick they have already done most of the hard work . All hinges and control horns mounted. I am adding pics of things to look at when assembling. Lightly sand the sides of the control horns to ensure any parting agent is removed and creating a strong bond. Insert the ball joint and screws for proper alignment prior to the epoxy curing. I wanted to add a little color to all of the door openings so I painted them with olive drab before assembling. I am SUPER happy that the wheels off of my Ziroli fit they are Robart 5 1/2". Hopefully most of the equipment of the Ziroli fits . It is close in size at 89" the Ziroli is 98" so it is not that much smaller.
Looking at the Drop tanks. These are pre setup for you . I was surprised at that, and it works easily , just glue in place. Remove wire pin from the front and they drop off, so if you do not want to fly with them.
The design is very similar to the Zero. I like how they designed it with a full bottom and access through the top . On most warbird designs the wing is bolted on from the bottom leaving a weak point in the mid fuse area.
