Landing gear / Bulkheads:
......
Now onto the mains... take your time here and make sure everything is symetrical with the gear. Once you are
sure you have the gear operating correctly and helicopter is level sitting off the tires you can tack in the main
bulkhead. You will require some grinding and sanding of this bulkhead to get a snug fit. Recheck everything once
again, then tack glue with some drops of thick CA glue.
 

......
Just the main legs installed at this point, then the links can be added once we know the tires and gear clear the
hinges and doors. You can see the door actutating arm in this pic. Here you can the mechs starting to fix into
place. At this point you can go ahead and add bulkhead 4 and 4a and begin fitting the maple mech blocks into
place.

......
Check your mainshaft alingment, making sure the rails are sitting in the middle of the heli and upper  front cowl
fits dead center. You should have between 3-4 degrees of forward mainshaft tilt .

......
Just some different views of the turbine install. Once you are lined up with the rails, mainshaft and mechs you
can begin the final glue up of all the wood bulkheads and maple rails. Remember, everything is dry fit first before
gluing to ensure alinginment!
