reviving this post from a bit ago. decided to at least repair one of my old gear doors and the pitot tube. i took one of the small plastic cylinders from my destroyed gear door and put it on one of the others that was just missing that little peg, the one on the bottum is the repair. now once I'm ready to throw the door back on i can just resolder the light and it'l be good to go.

Landing gear installation is complete, except for wiring (it's all tested for good operation).

Correction from the last post: The nose gear assembly is screwed in place from the front; the retract must be removed temporarily to enable this.

What a beautiful evening.  Light winds, sunshine, hot but manageable.
The first really nice day.
No snow, no rain, no crosswinds, no cold.

Photo report:
37- Andy's FX racer can best be described as two rolls of tape flying in formation.  Note the alignment issues. Andy managed to have all the mis-alignments cancel out so it flies.
38- Andy adding some more tape because...... he could.
40- Peter's powerful Christen Eagle.  Impressive.
41- New member Kirk (l) and Paul prepping for flight.
43- Admiral Guy and his new kit-built power glider.
46- How many people does it take to program the new transmitters?
48- Visitor and potential new member Alex borrowed Kirk's Cub for a 2 minute flight on the buddy box. Thank you Kirk- classy move.

Fuselage started and tail section started.
Servos will be located near the tail. 
This location is preferable as the motor and battery combination results in a very nose heavy plane.
Other construction change was the slot for the stab: it is incorrect on the instructions and on the plans.

Nose gear assembly includes an steerable electric retract and a steering servo with linkage. It works well.

The assembly fits snuggly onto 4 carbon fiver tubes, and it is secured by screws from inside the fuselage.

I have left out a servo and mount for landing gear-door operation, as I am not adding that option to my model.

So far, my method of building for each step is: 40% time and effort for thinking and planning; 40% testing and fitting; and 20% assembling, securing and gluing.

Rudder servo assembly installed.

Nacelles assembled and installed.
