RE: ASM F-7F Tigercat
Capt G the mechinism is a bit hard to see in the picture but basiclly the front is hinged (brass) and actuating wires extend out to the doors and the spring helps open and keep open the doors. The plate is sitting off the bottom of the wing about 15mm in the open position in the picture. The big hole you see is a neccessity to allow the wheel to retract far enough into the wing and lock properly. The wheel now hits the back of the hole to shut the doors. I had to do the actuating plate and the wing sheeting. I might glue a patch/stiftner on the inside of the wing for peace of mind so no strength is lost.
Thunderbolt47 all I can say is that the exhausts were designed for the engine so hopefully they will provide enough pressure for the tank. I'm sure they will as the holes are only 10mm (.400") each and my OS61 has a simular set up and works fine. No worries at all.
So, off to cut into the cowls and add some tubing to extend the exhausts out.
Cheers,
Brad
