Okay, I am going to deviate a bit before I talk about the build. Some of you may have seen another post of mine talking about recieving my new AFPD sim in the mail yesterday and how I like it soooo much more than G2. Anyhow, I was practicing rolling circles last night at 80% sim speed and, low and behold, I was able to do rolling circles with my LT-40 today . Now, they won't win any contests, but at least I was in control of the plane the whole time and actually was able to make a circle. Altitude is what varied quite a bit, I tended to climb. So, I love AFPD and think that it is already worth every penny. I was also able to hover the LT-40 for about twice as long as I could before practicing on the sim.

On to the build and some questions. I am attaching pics of the dry fit of all the main fuse components. This is only my second fuse build, the LT-25 being the first, and I am a little concerned about getting it all straight. The LT-25 was flat, so it was much easier to make sure of. Any tips here?

Also, should I use epoxy on the firewall? I am going to be cutting of the cheeks in favor of a cowl. I was going to leave about an inch of the cheeks to attach the cowl and fuel dots to. So, I though I could tri-stock inside and outside the firewall. I think this is important since I am putting a ST G-90 up front. Opinions? Suggestions?

Thanks,
Patrick
