Default RE: Nitroplanes 90" P-38 (1/7 scale) with 3 piece wing and more

Well, after much waiting, the nose gear is under way. I have the mount designed (templates made)[)], built, and ready to install. I should have it installed tonight. Then I can get her on her feet and see if my calculations are good for a scale like angle of attack on the ground, unlike the stock Nitro version. Much easier to have plans to work from, but everything just takes a little longer to design as you go. The wedge in the mount puts the tire just clear of the door, yet still leaves a scale like angle to the 105 deg. nose strut when down.
