Okay, away we go!

First up, I am going to demonstrate the fixed gear conversion for the Typhoon 2000, included in the tempest mods. If you follow the drawings for the mods, these pictures will make better sense. If you're building a T2K and just want a fixed gear, this is for you too.

You begin by incorporating a 1/4" piece of aircraft ply into the structure just behind F2. This piece should be about 3" from front to rear, and stretch all teh way to the fuselage sides, under the doublers for the front wing adjusters. You will have to extend the wing adjuster doublers to about 3 1/4", with a small lip at the rear to capture the block. The main block should rest completely from side to side, butted against F2, under the doublers and resting on top of the 1/4" stringers. See attached pics.
