Terry, the bolts will be left a little loose to allow gear swing. Matter of fact the gear swing in and out a LOT. Just like on the full scale aircraft.

It has been FREEZING cold here (opposite of you, right?) and even though I've got plenty of heaters it's still not fun to go out in the shop. Plus, painting in freezing temps is not ideal to say the least. However, spring is about to arrive and that's the perfect time to spray paint.

But you don't have to feel bad for me. I've been keeping busy with my bourbon collecting hobby. . . . . .
