The Rain returns

One day of nice weather and we are back to rain and I got lots of building done today.  I did get three flights in today, as soon as I got up I went out and flew the V-Hawk before the rain started.  The adjustments I made last night helped and it hovered better.  I also flew the little FPV quad a couple of flights in the house and did much better, yesterday's practice outside sure helped.
Under that pile of magazines and weights is the right wing for the P-39 getting the sheeting glued on.  I spent most of the day putting a liner in the wheel well so I could do the sheeting this evening.
I also figured out a new way to mount the nose gear retract.  I wasn't happy with the way they did it in the kit, the pieces the gear was to mount on had notches in them which looked to me like it weakened them a lot.  My new ones are one piece clear back to the F3 former.  I texted with James and he had a good trip down to Reno.
