John,
I’ll be there! Finally get a chance to do some flying with you and the Birmingham gang!

Wil!!! Nice to see you on the boards again! Wow! I’ll chat with you later!

For those that want a more scale gear door retainer you can use PC board. I’m using the CJ gear so the struts are ½”. Drill 4 holes in your PC board with enough around the sides to work with. I used a template for the top and bottom door retainers, mark them off and sand the PC board parts down with a disk sander. Remove your struts from the gear and measure as shown from the top of the scissors. For the bottom retainer measure 5/8” up and for the top one measure 2 5/16” up. They will be a tight fit so no glue or anything is needed, also the paint will help to hold them in place. Glue the doors on with thin CA and dash the wet glue with some Micro-Balloons. If the doors ever need to be replaced I’ll just pop it off and glue on another one. Mask and primer, then paint!
