luke, dude you need to change your avatar back
that one kills me
ready for paint pics now [8D]
Glad ya like the new look! lol Glad you're ready for paint, I wish I was!
Too late for me to change to a smaller tire man I've already cut the hole for the wheel wells. I'm using a robart 4 inch diamond tread, but if I'm not mistaken, thw wheels are a little larger the the doors- let me double check them tonight.BTW, you are way ahead of me because I still dont have any radio components inside the fuse but I'm not too far behind you.
What are you using to mount the gear doors to the struts, just some small pieces of hardwood(on the inside of the door) with some kind of strap or something that wraps around the strut?
Thanks again Luke!! Keep on trucking and get that bird going!!
Oh, btw, did you set me aside a cockpit kit ? I need to pay you for it too.
If you'll email me with the details , I'll send you some money

John, my young Jedi! How dare you question your master! lol Seriously, the doors are scale in size. Check out the picture below, that is the Robart 4" wheel. You can still patch those giant holes you have in your wing! lol Before you do the radio you have to install the cockpit floor remember, I need to make a few more cockpits for those that wanted them later so I'll get you one by the weekend.
I show a simple wood method for mounting the doors, look back a few posts. I'm not going to do this; I posted it as a simple solution. My gear doors are going to be held on in a much more scale manner with clamps made of PC board.
Keep it going John, and let's see some pictures of your work!!!
