After a second look I see there's a 1/4 by 1/2 spar aft of the wheel well. So that be fine. That's where I'd put the wing tube. Looks to me the best place for the cut is dead center of the wheel well. Won't matter if the gear is up or down then, but I don't know were the side of the fuse is or were all the working are.
Once you decide where to put it then the easy part is over. just saying...

Unfortunately Al, the wheel wells are completely under the fuse. The dihedral break on the wing is that front to back double line through the gear base at rib 4. If I do put the break there, then 1/3 of the gear base is outside the break.
Kinda looks like an extra inch on either side of the center section might be the best way to go. If I put another rib 4 just outside the gear base..... Sad

Sorry Steve, I thought is was the Savox's that caught fire....I'll look at the Hitec fur sure....

Tah Dah Here is the bottom of the plane with THE LAST OF THE STRINGERS ON THE FUSE!!! Raa Raa

All 57 freaking stringers, each one put through the stripper to cut them down in the right place, each one cut from a pine board, Cry

, each one.....Oh! I can't go on Wall Bash

Now look at the plans and try and figure out how and where he sheeted the bottom, then the ventral...

Elevator push rods, Smiley

Rudder cable tubes Thinking

and since I know the size of the servos Santa is bringing, I put the servo rails in as well....I put them just under/behind the wing hold down plate in case I have to use space for the interior....
Get some 3/32 sheet and finish the bottom and tail of the fuse..

All this so I can put off working with the ribs for the center section. Combination of my landings, heavy plane and our runways dictate reinforced landing gear, so some ribs are being laminated with CF......and I hate that stuff... excited

But, big fan to outside going, shop vac under the saw, twin filtered face mask....

Looking good. That is going to be a beautiful plane. I used to do that "gluing wood together" thing but found it cut into my rum savoring time too much so now I take the easy route and just stick assorted parts together.
