    @eb801 - it you get the gear so that when you look straight down at the wing, you can just see the axle of the main gear ahead of the wing leading edge, you have it right.

    The Proper Stance

    Ok. Back out of the repair shop. I moved the gear forward as far as I could go without snapping them off. TC says I'm a bit short by 1/32nd of an inch. But I don't want to risk trashing the gear at this point so it looks just okay to me. I don't know why this happened as the gear snapped right into place originally and fit seemed great, but I forgot to check the stance so some of this is self-inflicted.

    Here's the revised look:

    Mo' better, Pedro @holzhamer?

    @eb801, just a human misstake, Eric. Nicely adjusted.

    @fiveten, @johnb - It does look better. But I am going to stop while I'm ahead. So next time you see White 4 it will be in the headlines. Thanks for following along!

    How does that old saying go? "If you don't point out all your mistakes, everyone will thing you're a genius" or something like that.

    It certainly does my friend 😉 great work there!

    Btw, for some odd reason I noticed that when you use my “callsign” I don’t receive any notification. It’s (at least) the second time I noticed this odd fact.

    @holzhamer -I have noticed lately all the “mentions” and PM’s go directly to my junk folder whereas before, these showed up in my in-box. Did you receive a notification this time?

    This time I got an email and the red dot notification Eric. Guess you solve whatever wasn’t working properly

    Eric, @eb801
    It has been a little while since I have checked in on your 190 build. I commend you on how it looks ! It will look even better in the headlines section.
