Ah, ok. For some reason I thought it was a PAY airframe. Shows ya what I know. If it doesn't say "Pilot" on it, I'm lost.

No trick or treaters means a minute or two with the baby Yak. The Falcon 24x9 made its arrival. As did the Jtec Pitts muffler for the 62. I'm still not convinced I want to hack up the cowl to accomadate the muffler. Besides the down stacks, I will need to cut a relief for the canister portion of the muffler. Not much, maybe just a corner. But I will need to open a cooling hole for the cylinder so I guess what has to be, has to be. I also made harness connector plates and glued them into the fuse sides. Got a support backer ring for the fuel dot made too. Getting closer each day.
Pay no attention to the clutter. When I get in the mood, everything comes out and nothing gets put away. Lol
It's still quite a spaghetti mess in the fuse, but I'll get everything tidied up once the final wiring for the ignition and throttle servo harnesses are in place.

My new custom made TNT landing gear arrived the other day, so I actually hobbled down into the workshop last night and worked on my Hangar 9 Extra. Getting it from the family room into the workshop without damaging it, myself, or any of my other airplanes took some doing since it was in the far back behind everything else, but I managed. It looks like the new gear should work out well. Tonight I'll pull the old gear off and take some pictures of the new gear to post. I'd like to get all the holes drilled tonight so I can paint them tomorrow.

Why do not just polish the gear is that not easier and it will not chip.

Yes they are. Taildragger r c carries a variety of lengths. I have been using them on the a ailerons and if I use more than one elevator servo, I will use them on the elevators as well. Like what I did with my Sukhoi.

Getting ready to mount an engine and I decided to take a different approach so I could see just how far off the cowl ring in the cowl is from the laser etched cross hairs on the motor mount plate. When I say "cowl ring" I mean the wooden former glued to the back of the cowl that facilitates mounting the cowl.
I made a tool, to check this, out of the supplied lazer cut plywood template and some other lazer cut plywood parts from past ARF's that I once had. Used a CF stab tube as the reference mock shaft. Looking forward in to the cowl The "mock shaft" is about 1/4" low and a 1/4" left of center of the cowl opening. I made sure the "mock shaft" was true by checking both x and y axis with a square.

I prefer the black gear on this model. Plus, for me, painting is easier.

through a tin horn! Very nice, very nice indeed! Definitely making hay on this one.
