Default RE: CMP BF109F BUILDING THREAD

Note the previous pic does not show the back rail in place. This is important. The front rail holds the gear in position, and sets up all the other components,. It will be one of the last parts to be CA'ed in. Its kinda like a jig to hold things in place.

Also note, I went as far towards the LE to still give a the retract space between the top sheet and retract. The rertacts will also be below the sheeting once covered with the balsa.

Since the rails are below the sheeting, it give one room too done a final shimming if needed/desired.

I am always thinking not to damage hardware, only wood. So its designed to break wood out in a hard hit. And if i hit that hard, back to flying school.
