Gear swing tests with main gear doors attached


Finally got the Thud back on the work table.


Got the wings on and did multiple gear swing tests


The main doors work good but they are not perfect. There still is a small droop on the door leading edge below the surface of the wing skin but it is as good as I can get it. The trailing edges fit good. There is no way to curve the doors any more without rubbing the wheels. The final fix will have to be a bead of body filler around the bottom leading edge of the main doors to make them flush. Otherwise they work ok. It's time to move on, get the vertical tail on, and final assembly.
