Hummmm...
My kit came from E-Bay, and guess what? No landing gear. Have to make my own. Cpuld sombuddy give me some dimensions? Width height?
Oh and the prop is missing as well... What diameter? I'm sure I've got a few in stock...
Thanx, guys!

Here you go, Bill. If you can use them, I've some extra props and rubber that you can have, free, as I don't need them for SC

nice drawing! Thank you!
I'll get Cindy Lou to print it, and I got it licked!
I got the prop, no perspiration!

Start of the nose block
My landing gear. I filed a small channel for the wire to sit in.

I would be careful about anything that is going to weaken the landing gear parts. If you build the plane light, then there are no wories about it breaking off on landing, but just to be careful. Also, when i make my landing gear for this series, I fill in the area around the landing gear with balsa instead of phugoids method with glue or filler. i add it around the edges of the part at least (i usually end up adding more near the actual wire to hold it in better) you could probably get away with building it per the plan but these little things will help improve the effectivness of the parts. Like i like to say, lots of different ways to do the same thing.

Rather than baggies, I have tupperware lunchmeat containers for sorting out the parts...
as per plan:
I like to put the 1/16 square sticks on the outside of the tailfeather structure as it precludes warpage during the dopage...
again, as per plan:
wangs:
Just like ya'll did it...
Tape helps loads:
First mock-up....
more soonest...
