Hi Wendall,

the gear needs to sweep/lean aft. I am not sure what you are referring to but there is no need to cover the gear, there is no worry about a "flame hazard"

Hey it was nice meeting you at hunstville. I'll be flying my V1 BM gain this weekend getting ready for jacksonville. My V2 is finished sitting pretty on bench waiting for finish paint - after our districts I will be busy painting and building a second. Between flying and working I have had little time lately to finish my V2.

good luck Wendall looking forward to seeing your finish product,

dean
