I thought I'd do one more post tonight. I have to commit myself to covering or I'll fiddle with and tweak stuff forever. I really hate to see this project coming to a close. I'm reminded why I'm in this hobby to begin with.

Here are a few pics of the landing gear. I used yellow wood glue to install the 1/4" birch ply sockets. I still might gob some epoxy inside around the triangle stock. I think the mains look awesome with their 60 degree aftward rake. Ignore the old spinner and prop, I just used them to set up the clearance. I'll also put heat shrink tubing or something over the wires where they touch in the channel to prevent metal-to-metal contact.
