Yeah, that only works when you've engineered it through the test phase to completion and are working on the final product when it comes to the retracts. Some I see have completely removed this area to update the retracts. Sierra gear drop right in I’m told, Shindin Machine gear don't. So you do what you have to and deal with the view as you go so since I’m still in the test phase hoping to be done soon to fly my ARF, we're going to just get the job done well to my standards for this ARF... As for the servo trays.. That I hope would be basic knowledge if you want it to look smooth and color blend but then that’s what PAINT is for.. who are we trying to impress... ourselves...or others, do we want to fly this thing or put more effort into it.. I applaud those who take all the extra time to add the details to these ARFs because some it looks good and I would do this if it were a kit but I feel we're loosing site to the fact that these are ARFs. Putting all the extra work into these just seems beyond the point of me buying Arf kit. I always thought that Arfs were designed to ease and speed up the process of getting to the field and enjoying the plane not to care if I slammed it into the ground because I can just go out and buy another one and be up within the next few days.

This is only my opinion and doesn't reflect the views and opinions of the others on the forum.
