| I know it isn't as pretty as piano hinge but it works and it is more durable.. I will fair in the ends with balsa and paste to make it a little cleaner |

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

| 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.. |

| 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

| you can see the elevator trim lever to the right of the pilot seat - also the throttle and mixture levers are in..this one had a ground adjustable prop - so no pitch or RPM lever. You can see the mag switch on the panel lower left and the twin air vents at the top |

circuit breakers and light switches, master battery and generator on/off, control stick, rudder pedals and the seat are installed |

| I fall asleep (if I am lucky) wondering how to do it...

| It really looks good. This is fun to watch because I'm not the one wondering how to do it. |

| That's a lot of fine work there. |

| lots of apprehension about all this surgery on an otherwise healthy airplane model - but as the Buddha once said "f'k it - lets keep going" |
