[]Ok guys, I need a little refresher course in retract installation. I have not built a pattern plane in a long...long time. I have a Vertigo II that I found buried amoungst a lot of junk in my attic. It has been a while since I have seen anybody fly one of these kind of birds. Everyone is into the 3D thing...
Anyway, this one is of classic design manufactured by Skyglass and I guess it was produced in the mid 70's. Foam wings and stab, glass fuselage with fin molded in, and a set of prints.... thats it.
My question is:
The rhom-air retracts were originally powered with a FREON cannister (obviously pre-EPA) and it was rather small. I do have a set of rhom-air 3 gear retracts, but the controls and air tank are a Robart setup. I am trying to find a good place to put the air tank (which is considerably larger than the rohm-air). I am thinking up into the canopy area with a big glob of silicone.... but I am open to ideas.
Another question would be:.. I used to use Sorgam (sp?) to glue the sheeting to the foam. Anything new work better? This wing format has no hard leading edge, just sheeting wrapped around the foam. It does, however have a hard trailing edge, presumably to hold the hinges.
Any Suggestions?.... anyone familiar with the Vertigo II?

Thanks...
