Hi Chris, thanks, will have to make a stronger cradle for the spitfire to sit in while adding wiring and gun plastic tubing., you will see in the fist pic the cardboard cradle isn't much chop . Tony

Looking good :thumb2:
Try painting the cardboard with a PVA water mix - it'll strengthen it up no end when dry

Hi Gery , thanks for the advice I just head to Bunning they have plenty of small boxes I can make into a dissent cradle. Tony

[ozdell]

I am all ready to go to make a start on putting the landing gear motor into the cradle, first have line up a wire cable through the motor to the landing gear, going to be fun.

That will be tomorrow afternoons job
