I was making a serious run on this one, but noticed a problem that will take more hours than are left, to fix. I can't believe I hadn't seen it before, but the landing gear is off. It took putting on the top wing to see it, but there it is.

Well, I will finish it, but not on time.

 

[ccheese]

Bummer !!! Nothing else to say...

Too bad Paul you were really moving there Get'er finished anyway, she's a little beauty

I guess "break a leg" would be out of place right now.......
I recall the same problem. It's why I had to cut mine and add a new styrene rod to fix.

No fun mate. But it is looking good.

 

[meatloaf109]

Actually,"break a leg" sums it up quite nicely, as that is exactally what I will have to do.
The picture doesn't show it very clearly, but there is a pronounced lean to stage left.

 

[Wurger]

Looking good though.

 

[N4521U]

Could you put a bigger tyre on that side?????

Just sayin.

 

[T Bolt]

Higher air pressure?......

 

[meatloaf109]

A seriously late update, but I dug this one out and started to place the white stripes. I figured out what was causing the unequal landing gear problem, and have corrected it.

 

[N4521U]

So it's a secret?
Pilot/builder error is it?

 

[Wurger]

Looking good though.

 

[T Bolt]

Will be good to see it finished Paul. I have a whole shelf of unfinished ones waiting for me.

 

[meatloaf109]

So it's a secret?
Pilot/builder error is it?

Yes.
To both.
And thanks everyone for looking in!

 

[N4521U]

Would that then be a "yes yes, yes"!!!!!!!!!!
