I didn't unfortunately. Was really pressed for time on it. It was a lot of work. When I got it it was in pretty rough shape sitting around for around 30 years. Lots of hanger rash peeling primer you name it. Also redid most of the work that was already done to it. Got it done just before florida jets then a radio issue caused a flameout at FLjets and it received heavy damage. Had my work cut out for me to get it ready for topgun in time. Got it done just before the event. The first flight where the gear worked was my judged flight round lol. It flew with no issues rest of the week and love it. It is the best flying scale plane I have ever flown. first 2 rounds was 94 and 95 then got a feel for her and got a 98 on my last flight. So not great but did ok for a plane that I just got dialed in during the event.
