I am building a zero. Robart electric retracts with 5in robart wheels. The wheel is interfering with the gear door linkage? The gear door had pre-drilled holes for the control horn. Has anyone else experienced this?

Just make new hole or try to bend linkage so it's not interfering. I didn't use TopRC solution of closing small flaps, made it servoless similiar as original plane had.

Sometimes you just have to step away and reevaluate the problem. I was able to dremel the tip off the the gear door linkage and tweak the control rod. All is well now and working as it should.

Made some good progress over the last few weeks. Has anyone designed the exhaust tips in CAD? The ones the kit comes with are not so hot. I started working on the design tonight, but don't want to re-invent the wheel! Props to whoever came up with the L brackets on the cooling fins... worked really well! And the cowl mounts to the baffles... really clean....:-)
