RE: PAU/BME 87" Extra 330L - Build and Fly
O.K., some more, but slow progress...
After going over the plane with an iron and het gun to seal the trim, egdes and shrink taught everything that needed it I put the gear and tailwheel on...
The gearblock is covered over so I cut the covering as showm... I don;t cut all the way to the "corners as the iron will stretch it and allow it to seemlessly fill the corners without leaving any "bare wood" visable from "admirers" at the field.
It's ironed in and I go ahead and trim the excess saving a good .001 grams... tee hee (and making it look more neat and tidy).
The gear is then bolted on with the supplied screws... theres washers and lockwashers inscluded, but I always use some blue threadlocker to keep them in place.
