            Thanks All - it was very motivating assembly. - just wish i could find some 12" PR Brush wheels to complete the look.

            Meanwhile .....adding some easier access to the top hatch via CamLoc 2700 studs and receptacles.

                  Hub Caps for the PMT 262 Bush Wheels - using the stock wheels as a form.....

                  Added 5% to the completions schedule - smaller rotor from HPI will fit nicely ( shredder valve clearance on the PMT Wheels ).........

                    Cut down the wheel adaptor plate from Aviation Concepts Bidule Brake kit and drilled, along with the 1/8" spacer......extra holes in the other adaptor plate due to mis-alignment of the alignment jig.......

                      Working on the Flap servo installation
                      Need about 20mm of pushrod travel for full flap deployment so the servo arm ball link attachment hole was moved in so I can have full servo arm movement.

                      75 degrees of deflection should be good enough to slow things down

                          Wheel hub cap came out passable - Rust-Oleum Bright Coat Metallic Finnish Aluminum
                          44 mm carbon tube.....just have to make sure to have the axel installed before installing the hub cap --- its a smug fit.

                            Initially, tacked things together on the engine and then transfer off to finish up the brazing.
