Default RE: B&D Retract Dimensions

Hi.

I have mine spaced about 87mm apart. I use the plywood ribs with the plywood doubler on the outside of the bay. I only moved the inboard rib (as far as I remember). I dont think the sheet extends far enough to allow both ribs to be moved.

If you haven't allready done so you should read the thread "Another twin-air .45 build thread" by Stevetrofemuk. It is on page 2 of this forum. I am following in his footsteps and so far it has workd fine. In this thread there is a comment about extending the sheeting outward in order to make it easier to appply the covering material around the narcells.

I will see if I get the time to make a photo of my gear bay of the wing later today.


I have not progressed very far with my build. Have had a ton of work to do plus I am a slow builder. A stick glued a day makes me happy. I have the wings almost finished. Still needs to cover up gear well, join the two halfs and add the top center sheeting. I have only drilled the firewall for the narcells and will start on them soon. The fuse is 1/3 build. Yesterday I added the mounting plate for the front gear. Will upload a photo of that as well. The tail is done. So as you can see I still have plenty of work to do. Hopefully I will finish it before the flying season starts but I start to have my doubts. Besides a fulltime job I am studying at business school at night and have a lot of exams coming up in 3 month time plus I will become a father in about 2 month time. .
