Hi cg,

I can verify your comments re the helpfulness of Mike Clewes and your observations re the quality of the kit.
Mine went together very well with excellent parts fit.

I suspect that my wing is of the newer version with the gear further forward.

I had also suspected the 6mm wire between the oleo and the retract as a weak point and replaced it with a high tensile peace.

I haven't flown the plane yet. This weekend, I might quite possibly do that. I have a Moki 1.8 in it, as I felt the G38 would be a bit heavy.

Best regards

Ari
