I also got the retract system all installed and setup. Ended up having to make new struts for the mains, but I like them better without the coil, though I had to bend them creativly to make them close all the way, man those wings are thin.

I stripped the covering off the bottom, and plan on re-covering it in Cub Yellow. (have an extra roll from another project, hehe) Originally, the plane had the same colors on top and bottom. I know from experience that that is a visibility nightmare. Hopefully this will contrast well. Thought about doing the rudders in yellow, but that would put 4 different colors on the tail fins, so I decided to just stick with black for now
