Landlubber MikeThanks for following guys. Lochsa, you're right about the canopy. There are fit issues in general with this kit - most of which aren't too difficult to deal with - but the canopy is a bit of a mess. I'm not really looking forward to that part of the build.

Landlubber MikeThanks guys! Transall, it seems a lot stronger than the kit parts which were made from pretty thin plastic.

Landlubber MikeThank you Pietro! Still a long way to go. In the middle of priming the fuselage and having gap and other problems popping up. This is the build that never seems to end 🙁

Landlubber MikeThanks Gorby! This was my first time trying to scratch build landing gear. Took me probably 20 hours 🙁 I ended up using Albion Alloys brass tubing for a lot of it, along with music wire, copper wire, plastic tubing, and other materials. I've bumped it a few times already and it is very stable so fingers crossed it makes it to the finish line!
