What sharp little eyes you have! The MLG strut was just put in place for a quick pic It will be rotated before flying!

The supplied wheels are 75mm diameter and will not fit in the wells I suspect they are only to be used for fixed gear. The 66mm wheels are a perfect fit in the vac formed wells.

Good to hear Alan is with the programme on the mounting blocks!

Yeah..kinda anal about details. The 66mm dia looks like a good choice. Altho 75mm would be better for rough grass operations. Our grass flying field is 160m lg and the Boomerang looks like it will do well flying from it. Maybe a 1.5mm aluminum plate like you have would be a good idea?
Alan seems on top of things. just HOPE that us Yanks get our kits as scheduled. Shipping out on March 10th. It will take a few days to arrive here in Cleveland, Ohio. It will then take a few days to inspect and order the stuff to complete it. Should be flying by the first week in April. Have a P60 for it. Ordered the retracts to go along with it. Still undecided on which brakes and wheels to use.
