Thanks... that landing gear was the cheapest piece of servo-operated mechnical crap I have ever seen on a plane, but I managed to do at least 15 or 20 landings with it. Last year I replaced it with a set of decent Electrons but haven't flown it yet due to other priorities.
I hope to be able to take that plane out a few times in the upcoming shore leave.
The cowl is in place in the meantime, and I have flown it with that once. Lot of work getting the baffling under the cowl right, but it now cools better than with the engine fully exposed like in the vid. Plane is faster too, getting more RPM in level flight.
It is my prized posession, that plane and I am extremely careful with it...
