| A closer look at a picture of my target aircraft revealed that the instrument panel was not silver (duh, glare problem for pilot) but a flat white. It was also three dimensional, hinged at the bottom to allow access to the gauge wiring. I'm thinking a scored piece of wire glued to the bottom of the center piece might simulate the piano hinge. |

| Thanks guys. I made these from strips of .020 white styrene about 3/32" wide. I used CA to stick the ends of one pair together and then sandwiched that between another pair at about a 45 degree angle. I then split some short pieces of 1/8" OD x 1/16" ID rigid plastic tubing lengthwise but slightly off center so that the tubing would snap around the 1/16" wire used for the landing strut. I used CA again to connect the open end of the strip assemblies to the sides of the tubing, put a dab of 5 minute epoxy on the joints to simulate the bolts, then painted them. Once they are snapped in place to the actual struts I will CA the other half of the tubing pieces on to complete the assembly. |

| Stopped to take a picture of this WACO UPF-7 at the airport on Oak Island, NC. This photo was taken just before my sneaky daughter told me she and I were going up. Best day ever. |
