Update.

Working mainly on the wings, have decided to instal the gear leg pod ply frame into the fiberglass mounding first and then trim it as required, it seems to provide a more sturdy method especially with the fixings to the wing.

I am unsing M3 bolts into blind nuts set below the wing surface on ply plates, the result seems solid and easy to remove (2 bolts)

Built and assembled the servo and air connection panel, which will get Aeropoxied into the wing once the gear is in and connected up, once this is done I will cut the corresponding shape out of the fuselage and install the opposite mating panel.

Tanks all assembled, to make sure things remain fitted I ground down some brass Festo barbed connectors (one side) and soldered them into the tank pipe ends, this gives a better purchase for the fuel pipe. All connections are wired.

Painted the inside of the wing area where the wheel retracts into to make it look a little more pleasing to the eye.

Now just waiting for glue to dry[]
