A bit off progress has been achieved since my last post in February.
All the servos have been installed and I upgraded my radio to a new Jeti DS12.
I received the new nose gear retract cylinder and machining a new one at the same time. I found a source for the 1/16", 3-56 thread, fittings and now in the process to finish assembling the new machined cylinder.
The new set of Kevlar fuel cells are glued and I moving forward with cutting a brace that will hold all three cells in place. I'd like to cut it using the same foam type that rc helicopters blades holder are made off, I just can't find the particular name of the foam material so to buy a sheet/block.
If you happen to know the technical name, please share it!
