Default RE: Don Smith B-24 build pics

MEMPHIS,

I am using 4 stroke 91s slanted at a 135 degrees. The wheel well is reinforced with 1/16 ply and on the inside with gorella glue. There is 1/2 oz glass on the plane but 5/8oz where there is stress. The walls of the wheel well is braced and built with 1/8 ply. When I added this extra weight I had to take away weight come where else. With this plane being 95 % complete it weights 47lbs. The retracts are from century jets, they are built for this b-24, 146", don smith plans. I have a pic of the whel well but for some reason I can not send it at this time will try in a few minutes.
