RE: CMP Hellcat
Bentmetal AKA, Luke I hope you are just taking a little time off. Hate to see a very good modeler stop, besides you might do another plane I really like and I could buy more of your killer parts. Thanks for the compliment means a lot coming from you. I have started the tailwheel retracts going easier than I thought at least so far. Finished the radio install, remote glow, and air setup in the fuse. Couldn't find my fuel tank so ordered another one, needed a Great Planes 24oz they are nice and short and fit well. Started to get the lines and servo wires run through the wing, not much fun there and has been a real pain in the behind. Spent about 1 hour so far and not half way there yet. My routing through the retract area is tight but you won't see anything. Mounted the centerline tank with the cables and it really looks good. I can say to all you guys doing this if you don't do any other mod you have to get one of Lukes canopy's it makes the plane. Ity is like night and day. I will keep you posted.
