| kenm94591 | Dumas Kit #223, P-26 Peashooter | Build | 21-May-19 16:12 |  | | Views : 593 | | I have been stopped on the building of the motor for the last six weeks because I can not get the three set screws I need. Have been to 3 HomeDepos, Lowes and 4 Ace Hardware. They have been on order for last six weeks. I decided I needed to work on the landing gear and this is what the plans call for. |

| kenm94591 | Dumas Kit #223, P-26 Peashooter | Parked | 04-Apr-19 15:52 |  | | Views : 655 | | Well I got ahead of myself by starting the build. Should have checked the fuselage against the 3-view. Turns out it is too long with the motor I am building for it and the profile is a little off. Not sure what I will do. |

| kenm94591 | Dumas Kit #223, P-26 Peashooter | Parked | 27-Mar-19 20:14 |  | | Views : 563 | | Thanks heywooood. I had actually tried a variation on your suggestion. I bought stainless set screws and painted them black followed with a light sanding. This is a picture of one of the two remaining P-26's. This is from the Planes of Fame in Chino, CA. It is the first plane you see upon entering the museum. |

| kenm94591 | Dumas Kit #223, P-26 Peashooter | Parked | 25-Mar-19 18:59 |  | | Views : 499 | | I had hoped that the black push rods would pop against the silver and black of the cylinders but it didn't. Not sure what I am going to do. Might try painting the push rods silver. |
