Control stick assembly test fit & sandblast L.G.

4.0

fuselage

DETAIL:

I pulled the control stick assembly from GN-1 no.2  and test fit it into GN-1 no.1.   I'll have to do some lengthening of the tube to get the stick were I like it but overall a nice fit.  I'm going to sandblast it and the rudder pedal assemblies and have them powder coated silver.

I also sandblasted the landing gear legs.  Sand blasting is the way to go!  Takes paint off in no time.  I had both legs done in less than 40 minutes.  I'm going to have them powder coated white.
