Default Wing center section / main gear

Cleared the work bench of the fuselage and moved the center section over. As I had the gear modified to electric from air and now after much experience, I have decided to go back to air. To rebuild the gear, they need to be removed so the nacelles need to be skinned to get the gear doors off. One interesting thing about the B-25 is that there are three different sized gear doors per main gear. This is slow going with all the curves, so I have been using a paper template to help shape the skins before gluing them in place.

Another decision is to go electric for the power. This requires cutting in an access hatch in the nacelle behind the firewall to be able to handle the in-series 6-cell batteries. This space will also handle the esc and will keep the wire leads as short as possible to the motor.

Forgot to reduce the photo size, next time.
