Default RE: What parts did you use to build your CMP P-51 140? (Build thread)

The wing is mostly complete. Here is the left flap in the full down position. All that is left on the wing before it gets ready to be glassed is to install the servo bays, reinforce the gear area, make nicer gear bays, and glue the wing together.

I also modded the tailwheel retract. I moved the control arm to the bottom of the retract arm and this gave me about a quarter inch more movement. Its show here with a 1 1/4 Klett tailwheel, but I may use the 1 1/2 instead. I made the bulkhead it will mount to, which will be attached to the bulkhead directly behind the tailwheel bay. I will drill some lightening holes in it when I decide where the pushrods are going to go.
