Hi Aros,
Solved the issue with the cockpit by making two cuts which made it possible to follow the shape of the wing. Than filled it again with epoxy glue. Still have to finish it with some paint.
Two questions left...
Do you use the five plastic bolts or did you replace them with metal ones?
When I fully extend the flaps It’s still possible to partly move them back and forth. Where you able to reduce the play? If so, what did you do? 😃
Thanks!
Best regards,

Good thinking on the two cuts to mold to shape. I recall using the plastic bolts. As for flaps I'm afraid you're on your own with that one. This model is notorious for it's fowler flap system that leaves a lot of play no matter what you do. It drove me and my builder absolutely nuts and we finally had to throw up the white flag and just live with it. If you find a solution by all means post it here for others with the model.My YouTube RC videos:

Thanks, yeah I came in hot as it was just my second flight and I was petrified to get her too slow, lol. Later flights I was able to bring her in much more scale. Truly a great flyer.My YouTube RC videos:
