Beautiful scheme. Take the struts apart, replace the 80# springs with something with about 1/3 as stiff and clean out the glue they call grease and use some quality lithium grease. Then your oleos will actually function.
Still putting mine together. Be interested in AUW, what throws, CG you used and thoughts on general flight characteristics. Sank pretty quick with flaps on final, bit slow perhaps? Great job mate.
Gorgeous Aircraft. Thanks for sharing this. Puts me in mind of all the years of listening to aircraft warming up and run training flights at various Naval Air Stations.
