RE: Nitro 90" (1/7 scale)P-38J Build with mods
Back to those booms. I gutted them of gear and servo mounting structures, and the OEM 2-56 push rod sleeves, and went to work on installing 'Precision Nyrod' tubes down the sides for tire clearance, and rounding the bottoms.
I am building in the gear doors and will cut them free after the sheeting is done. Double formers are where they will be cut out. They are within 1/2 " of being scale length. I made them long enough to mount the rudder and elevator servos just behind the tire, when retracted, if need be, for balance.
The wing cover may still need to be removable as I don't think I will be able to reach the wing bolt from the gear bay as I had hoped. If this is the case, I may just go back to mounting the servos up on top the wing and under this cover. Hook up and service would be easier anyway.
