I'll be watching to see how you finish off the landing gear "cavity"

Still can't believe it's the last day of 2024...
Thanks Rick! Have you been sneaking in my shop at night? 😄 I've been working on that very project. It's unique in that there is a shape change from very angular on one end to rounded on the other end. The stock plans fall short of addressing this problem...

Happy New Year to you Rick. Let's hope for good health and happiness where we can find it... I very much appreciate your comments on this thread.
