I finally got the wing finished with all servos and the retracts installed. Eight servos in all produce a lot of wiring. The retracts are mechanical ones bought from AK-Models. We have a nice flying field with short grass on it, quite kind to the landing gear. I have put a bit of effort in reinforcing the mounting rails and made a set of sturdy servo mounts. New wheel wells were produced from a large plastic bottle. The legs are 5mm dia and seem strong to me.

The arrangement is not much scale though, but will be ok for my first warbird. I may put more scale detail into the next one.

I am preparing to glue into place the fibreglass cover under the wing joint. Did you guys remove the wing covering before gluing?

I think I will increase the dimensions of the wing bolts, and may go for ¼” nylon ones.

SCALECRAFT: I want to turn an aluminium spinner backplate. Did you treat the center of the backplate in any way to get a good grip from the prop driver through the backplate to the propeller ?

Thanks,
Helge.
