Thanks Johnboy my tukey lost its legs so Ive had to make it a joint,no Im not smoking it.I was a bit worried how the under carriage would go but it turned out ok.I had spent time figuing out how to fit it and that helped,I had been told that people had to modify it and that was reported on the 2010 review but no mods needed .You fit a mnount on to the wing,its epoxied into place.You have a groove in the wing and a hole at the end.You also have a rear support theat futs into a hole in the mount.You have to hold it in place whilst screwing the screws in to the u/c mounts.Then the pants fit around the mount

I don't like the way that fuel tank goes through that former. No foam rubber padding? Engines don't run too well on methanol froth!
Also - I'd give that former and the bays on both sides a good dose of fuel-proofing before you fasten everything down. You only need a leaky pipe, and you have got oil-soaked wood. not good for a long-lived model!

if you are calm and collected when all about you are going berserk - you've missed something important!

Yes Ive given it a spray Eric rarely have leaky fuel tanks fortunately its the way I throw them together.That seems the way most tanks are fitted nowadays on artf Eric never seem to have a problem.The next job is the fitting of the engine /.This went very well and no problems.I have fitted ir as to the recommended position by Seagull.
