| The main L/G firmly mounted into it's plywood bulkheads. I used a "Wixey" digital angle gauge to make sure the fuse was level (laterally) then set a bar across the L/G strutts to insure that they were level before supergluing them into place. I then drilled 3/32" cross pin holes through the main member and inserted music wire into those holes. The L/G shouldn't move at all. |

| Gumby had to figure how to apply force from the control stick so it torqued the elevator bell cranks in the proper direction. Though not pretty the linkage works! Hats off to those of you who build models with servos and linkages. This area of aeroplane construction requires mastering a whole new and complex skill set incorporating areas of expertise that neither Gumby or me wish to venture into! |

| Nice weather has allowed me to get outside to dope the planes in work. This is wet covered heavy grade silkspan attached with nitrate dope. As it all dries it shrinks to fit and the excess is trimmed away. |
