Cav. the paint did get smudged up putting in a vise but is worked. I tried not unbolting it as that is not real easy. But was afraid I would mess it up at the fuse as u stated. Good idea you have there. I will keep that in mind. When I crashed mine the landing gear held up fine lol. The firewall even thoug it broke right behind it was in excellent shape. It has medal angle behind firewall for strentgh and also on the landing gear it has medal angle. This is just the nicest plane and the looks are incredible. Hanger 9 outdid themselves with this one.
There is I have heard a site that has Sundowners of every color under the rainbow. Maybe a racing site or something. Said they had a pic of them lined up probabaly a 100 of them on the flight line anyone know of this site or one that might resemble it. Thanks.
