Default RE: CMPro T-34 Build

Continuing with the build - after unpacking and doing an inventory of the parts, I started to dry fit things together. The tail feathers were spot on, and the wings (after some drilling to get the rear line-up pin seated) went together nicely. I also tested the retracts to see if they were workng properly. The only bad part is that the covering did not match up on the printed panel lines on the bottom. The fuse has a couple of minor things wrong. 1. The nosewheel bracing is too long for the cowling to fit (I plan to cut away about 1/2" from the front and reepoxy to thiner lite-ply to restrengthen) 2. The cockpit tub does not fit because of the top of the formers. This will be fitted by cutting the top of the former and down. Using the installed pushrod tubes, I quickly found out that 2-56 rod will NOT fit inside the pushrod tubes! Excpet for the minor things, overall I'm still happy with the ARF. More building pictures tomorrow.
