Gear change.

I didn't like the look of bare wire showing on the landing gear. I also had bent the wire wrong. When I bent the 90 degree for the wheel axle I had it pointing towards the wing tip instead of towards the fuselage. I noticed that a few days ago when I went to make some spats to cover the wire. I had enough 1/8 inch music wire so I made a new set of landing gears and cut out a pair of gear covers to hide the wire. A heavy coat of Gloss Cherry paint and some glue and the wires are covered.There's a good chance I'll bring it to Doyle's Bayou Park tomorrow and try to get in a first flight with it.
