Hey Keith,

I just got done with the nose wheel door hinges and cylinder. You were right there just isn't much room at all. The front hinge has to be pushed all the way toward the nose. I would almost say I probably could have shaved off about 1/8" from the hinge side (on the nose side) that would have fixed it. But since I had the hinge in already, I shaved off some material from the arm allowing the cylinder to come down. The real problem is that the front former is not perpendicular and it makes the cylinder deploy in an angle. I overcame that by loosing the screw that holds the cylinder and allowing it to swing.

BTW, what size servo are you using? I was planning to use JR 8411s for the elevator, ailerons, for RUdder I was going to use Volz. Steering DS821.

Happy New Year to ALL

Mike
