Default RE: Nitro 90" (1/7 scale)P-38J Build with mods

I did the math on the tires and we need 5" mains and 3 7/8 " nose tires. I think I will cheat the mains down to 4 3/4" but that will still be a lot of tire to conceal. The booms aren't deep enough. I wish they had just rounded them to begin with. They did fine on the top. I don't see what the big deal was on the bottom.

Anyway. I get my sleeves and CF tubes back tomorrow, then I will set up the location. I'm leaning toward just behind the main spar. It will mean removing some of the rib material. I will take plenty of pictures.
