  Yes!  Thanks.  Please send privately.  I don't know if anyone else would be interested.


  BTW, I found the "missing" pieces.  Some bozo put them where I wasn't looking.

    Would pics of the inside of an Impact help you?  I've got a bunch of them...
    Including shots of the landing gear block assembly

      I'm building a PL Products Excellence, but am making veerrry slooow  
      progress.  The instructions are awful and written in Frenglish.  I  
      have to think my building several steps ahead to make sure I don't  
      build myself into a corner.

      There appear to be a few honeycomb pieces missing, like the rudder  
      servo tray and the firewall.  I say "appear", because I'm not sure  
      they were supposed to be included, but are referred to in the  
      instructions as though I should have them.

      Nothing is said about mounting the landing gear in the fuselage and  
      the "instructions" show retracts in the wings!  Didn't Tony  
      Stillman's Excellence have wing-mounted landing gear and didn't his  
      wing fail through the landing gear area?

      When I e-mailed John Fuqua about this, he told me that I might want  
      to look at the Impact gear install system.  "Basically one 360 former  
      in the fuse with a second 1/2 former next to it with the landing gear  
      plate between the two. Former was made out of carbon faced ply.  Cut  
      a slot in th fuse for the gear to slide into and on the gear plate  
      and held with 3 bolts.  Very strong. Used to be pictures on the  
      website but not sure if they are still there."

      If anyone has some suggestions on building the Excellence or the  
      Impact gear install system (what's the website url?), I'd appreciate  
      hearing about it.  Thanks.
