The retract system is finished.
Ya have to cut the rods, through the servo hole, and the position of the servo arm may be opposite to the pic in the book, depending on which way your transmitter switch is setup, and or servo reverse. Mine was opposite the manual. I will be replacing all those 3mm allen setscrews with 3mm socket head caps. You can torque those babys.
Eveything works fine, although it looks like rough feilds are out for this plane, with these retracts anyway.
I saw and add for robinaire retracts that look rock solid. Air I think.
Something to consider.
So in the pic you can see that the gear is too low for the door to line up correctly.
Seems like standard for chinese arfs. looks like you could bring em in some, but I personaly dont care to mess with it.
I'll leave em off for flyin.
The tires are exactly to my liking. Large, treaded, and light.
I'm starting the aileron installation tonight after the shop cools down, and if I aint worn out, Ill join the wing sections. I;ll be gluing as many ribs....... through the rib holes as I can, with medium C.A.
Looks like more hot glue in some places and c.a. in others ,but I want it rock solid for that carrier cartwheel it will eventualy partake in...[X(]
