| After sanding the landing gear to size I then added 1/16” balsa to each side of the 1/4" balsa to get the correct size opening for the wheels. Cut another pattern from cardboard this time (actually it was from the chocolate covered cherry box from Christmas). Everything was screwed together again and using my dremel in my workstation with a drum sander I sanded out the wheel area. I then had to sand the 1/16” balsa to the correct shape. |

| In order to get the landing gear identical I stole and idea from Poppy or John Oshust can’t remember which. I cut two patterns from .090” vinyl plastic of the landing gear as I was going to use one for the front and the other the back. I then cut three blocks of ¼” balsa put the patterns on the front and back of the balsa and drilled two holes for the screws and washers. Reason for three was I assumed one would be messed up and didn’t want to have to do everything again. My wife then cut the balsa to roughly the outline I wanted on the jigsaw. I then sanded everything to the pattern to get the final size. |

| This is what I am looking for which is XP-936. I like the look and have decided to build this model as the original XP-936. |
