The last few times out, I’ve had trouble with the nose gear retract failing to consistently retract or deploy the gear. I’d opened up the reunion [edit: trunion. Stupid auto correct!) box several times and thought that I’d solved the problem. I finally said “F it!” and did what I shudda done a long time ago, bought a new nose Type A retract. That done, I finally had a fault-free flight, just before the storms blew in (thunder can be heard in the background... I know, I shouldn’t have been the talkest thing in an open field with thunder and lightning approaching). So, I’m calling this flight Thunder and Lightning. :-)

Hi guys, maidened my P38 yesterday. 3 flights so far and all went nice. Flew very well, except the fact, that it rolled to the left. Had to trim about 1mm right ail. Checked the whole a/c but couldnˋt find anything. Wings looking good, also the tail. Checked the rpm of both props, but only 20-30 rpm difference. Could this cause such a roll tendency? Am a bit clueless. Any tips for me? Thx

Here's a sad sight. My P-38 suffered a catastrophic battery failure during the climb out and stalled before I could get her back to smooth ground (a few weeks ago). First stage of the healing process - let it sit for a few weeks before digging into the repair. I think that she'll go back together... eventually.

Put it in a big trash bag, Squeeze in a couple tubes of Foam-tac, and give it a good shake. It'll come out fine .
This is what it looked like, right after the battery screwed the pooch.

I am confident that I'll get her put back together and back in the air... after my 10 stages of grief have been completed.
