Default RE: X-treme Composite Altair 200

Landing gear, wheel pants and tail wheel are also done. Presently, I'll be using the wide canard gear. However, if that makes it over weight, I'll switch it back to the narrower one.

The plane has the option of either using a Budd or YS mount. Since I have had good luck with the YS mount on both my Astral XX and ProLine, I chose the YS option. However, if you want to use the YS mount, you will need to purchase a mount bracket manufactured by my friend Alex Lau, This particular bracket has the same mounting holes as the Budd, and will fit X-treme's Astral XX, ProLine and the Altair 200.

Next step will be ele & rud installation. Hopefully, will be done in the next few evenings.
