Meanwhile, back at the workbench I got some work done on the nose gear door servos


Dry fitting the servo inline with the middle nose gear door hinge


I wanted it to be below the bottom of the cockpit tub cut out on the former so as not to interfere with anything later


I used the corner of the servo in the middle of the former hole precision line up method...


It looked good to me so how to make a mount with that curve on it?


I remembered my pink foam pattern for the former, curve close enough!


Traced former on file folder


I used a metal servo mount for a pattern


Final pattern after a little tracing and erasing


Pattern cut out and dry fit... looked good to me. The rest of the file folder became epoxy mixing cards!


I thought the F-105 was big...till I put the Havoc next to it! This bigger stuff has reached my limit! I need a crew chief to help move them around!
