Default Final Update

OK, I promise, this is the final picture. I have added a canopy from a Kyosho F-86 and a Robart strut on the nose gear. I moved the main landing gear forward 2 inches plus the 1/2 inch I gained with the special 15 degree bend in the Spring Air main wire struts. That gave me a 70/30 split rear to front. Still not great but you can't believe the improvement in ground handling and landings. I now consider the plane finished. It has been flown about 15 times with no problem. It always draws special looks and questions at the field. I would recommend this type of bash to anyone who wants to build a simple twin and is not shy about striking out without complete instructions. I would be happy to share the AutoCad plans that I drew for all the unique pieces (tail, center wing section with center boom).
