Straight hinges from Dubro or Robart will work but if you want actual geardoor type hinges you can contact Sonic Tronics directly and see if they ship to Oz. I've ordered from them before and they were pleasant to work with.

Thanks Jeremy, they look like they will do the job.

But all the stockists in Australia are out of stock.

I think these may work for you!

Robart used to make a similar hinge. Haven't been to a brick and mortar store in ages so have not seen them around latey.

I have managed to break one of the gear door hinges :-(

Does anybody know if they are available from somewhere?

Thanks

Front end work,.... as I was matching the spinner I decided to even things up a bit with finishing putty......and sand off all the anti-collision Orange....



Filling the tow release hole with west systems / #410 micro lite filler.



Candles.....



At least the motor mount makes it easy to rotisserie the fuselage for painting.

Pretty cool stuff. The T-Bird scheme is going to be awesome!

Great Idea!

Here is a small tun up for the prop to avoid damaging it when you pull back the sailplane by the tail.

I used a O ring #57 or 35mm diameter and twisted it twice on the prop (on twist on each side of the shaft. Works great! no more damage on the ground or in the car...

Just need to sand a bit more the fuse to have enought clearance for the O ring
