Jenny dio cont....

Getting the gear on this airplane is turning out to be a real challenge.The instructions in the booklet and drawings are minimum.
I am very glad that I waited to install anything on the fuselage until this step is completed.No matter what the booklet says get the gear on before installing the engine etc..I have spent many hours trying to figure out how to get everything lined up and yet not commit myself to glueing anything permanently until all the various angles are checked out. It is good that the fuselage is still just a basic square box as that will simplfy the jig that I will be required to build.(Math was never my strong suit)
Once the gear is on I think the next stage will be to install the center section and its struts while everything is held square in the jig. Wish me luck,I think I will need it. to be cont.....
