The wings have the gear doors marked on them, with nylon live hinging used. Just cut around the lines, and i used the saw to just take the top layer off the hinge line to get a sharper hinge.
Underneath found that the ribs (carbon sandwich) within the wing had been slotted for adding gear mounts.
Just cut out some ply to go in there...will be very strong! but waiting on the gear before cutting out for fitment.
Also installed the control horns on the surfaces and sorted out the rudder.
