The model is powered by Propdrive, V2, 50-50, 580KV motors. Using 5500, 5S Lipos, Castle "ICE" 100 Amp. ESCs. Stock WaveRC (drop in fit) retracts. 14X8X3 Master Airscrew props. counter rotating. Callie graphics.

As supplied, the nose gear strut would not insert into the trunnion block of the XWave retract far enough for the slot in the strut to align with the upper set screw in the trunnion block. Just a little bit of drilling lengthened the strut hole just enough to align the slot and set screw. A a little Lock-Tite thread locker and the nose gear is ready for installation. The set screw seems to hold the strut quite securely and the strut rotates smoothly.

Why not just trim the music wire portion so it won't bottom out ? The instructions say to use the supplied spring set up. I see no reason why that would not work but I'm not at that part of my build yet.

VMO2 i think had several different schemes covering the 76' Bicentennial but i do have the T.O manual that gives the wing top as white and bottom as gray. This also has all the stenciling wiht locations, sizes and all. The neat thing about this scheme is that its all listed as gloss which means not much if any work is needed to dull the shine. I have the same Callie graphics to add to mine and also using cut vinyl to accent some panels and such. Yours is top notch TLAR and enjoy your videos thanks to GBLynden for filming. Keep them coming as inspiration please.
