I set everything out at JOK this year. Those not claimed, I brought back home. Which one was yours again? I have about 8 in the box. In fact, I'll bring the box.

Found out today that there is a set screw behind the top scissor link on the main gear. You will have to remove the pin to see it. This will lock the wheels and scissor link in place. There is also another near the top of the strut; with both locked down, the wheels will remain locked in place. Going to have some fun with Billy D next week at Jets Over The Valley!

Had a great weekend at Jets Over The Valley with the F-100. The aircraft is now dialed in, and flies like a dream! It's a ball to fly, and I can't wait until the next flight.
