Sorry to rain on anyone's parade, especially when everyone seems so impressed with your work, but I still think you need to find a better method to strengthen the gear. I will admit that the wire between the axles is better than the tape in an earlier photo but I think you can raise the bar here. Maybe extra fine fishing line ....  Wink Wink Wink Wink

Oh yeah, the left retract base looks a few thou off.  Grin Grin Grin

Love the detail in the landing gear bays.  A whole new high water mark.  Excellent!

Thanks again for the kind words guys.  Funny stuff Steve.

I got to get these wings done so I can start glassing. So another big push on Sunday.  I need to cut some G-10 carbon board to make the hinges and get the ailerons done so I can finally sheet up the bottoms. Here's what I got..

My first and only selfy. Cutting carbon fiber is nasty.

G-10 board is cut and well on the way into the wings. This system make everything so smooth and looks right when it moves.

Looks like a great start, Al. Gotta be better than 20 year old brittle plastic. Is that welded together when you are done?

You could try the Galland Hood. May be a little easier to model, .....but not nearly as cool, and documentation is not as available as the heavy cage type.

Yes the old plastic one is very fragile.

Some parts will be soldered together.

Yes I agree, I like the early one also and the  G-8 I'm doing has the heavy one.

This is a challenge Huh  I soon discovered I need to build a hard wood frame to support the endeavor. The plan is to remove it once it completed but the real one had quite a but of framing inside so some may stay. That's if I can get this to work. Not even sure yet....

With the center section somewhat built I went aft. Hard to keep it all straight so that the center will open or I hope it will. Tongue

I like the aleron hinging. Looks easier to line up. Where can you get g10 carbon board?
Would fiberglass matts work for the hinges? I assume you bury the ron in the aileron end?

I got mine of E-bay. Lots of it there. You can also use fiberglass board, it should be just as good.
