Hey Carl - Thanks for your comment on the doors. Have to thank Noah for the idea. I was going to layer fiberglass cloth over monokote to follow the shape of the airfoil. His idea of gluing two pieces of 0.010 G10 together and using the dark bolts to shape the gear doors worked out great. As you can see, I have the old style version of Sierra's landing gear for the Avenger.

Check the weather before you make the run up here Saturday. Forecasting scattered thunderstorms, 40% chance of rain, 84% humidity. Hummmm. Will make the trip myself Saturday. Wish the Avenger was ready to fly soooooo it will sit in the shop under less humidity. Ha Ha Ha. See ya Saturday - maybe. Chic
