    Worked on the tail retract install and modification... took several photos and it sits on it's wheels good, it has the correct stance. Next to get the servo installed and hooked up... and look into doors that operate when the gear goes up/down... Mudman1959

    Working on the gear doors... Not really happy with how they work but the idea is there. I still need to play with it some more and see if I can get it to work better... Mudman1959

    iflyos, 3Dmon.... Thanks for the comments. Been too busy to work on it and this was the first time in several weeks. Now I need to get the servos for the elevator and rudder so I can get them installed and rigged and get the tail all closed up. Putting the sheeting foam on has turned out to be quite a job! I will need to use some light weight spackle and a bunch of sanding to hide the joints. All in all... not to bad I guess. Mudman1959

    Thanks Mark... And thanks for High lighting it on the front page. As for the maiden it will probably be me since my Son is now in Tennessee at Fort Campbell. But still lots to do before I turn that page... Mudman1959 (Lee) :D
