I need to pay a visit to the LHS for some more filler - used up almost the whole jar on that GeeBee's wing fairings lol. I haven't even laid up the wings and tail surfaces yet..I want to get the cockpit squared away and mount those doors first

Pilots Note: apparently the wheel spats were so large they created a problem - too much vertical 'fin' area. So Dolittle claimed these big shoes would override rudder input to the point that he needed massive almost full rudder deflection to get any yaw movement at all. Coordinated turns were impossible because the rudder was ineffective until it was fully deflected and then the yaw was erratic. They had to increase the size of the fin and rudder AND reduce the size of the wheel fairings...Imagine that! these things were bigger than this on the original Super..

Keep up those "Pilots Notes" Heywood - makes the build all that much more interesting!
