    Wheels and struts look great, Spiros (@fiveten).

    I got started adding all of the small and assorted bits to the plane. I can only work on a model for about an hour before I need to take a long break. The flaps and slats are on, as well as the gear doors and the wheels. Tail strut and wheel is all painted and ready to be added. A bunch of small bits, like the aileron balances, flap actuators, etc still need to go on. I had photos, but none would upload. Sorry. More later.

    Thanks my friends @johnb and @gblair!
    I am now in the process of adding the "loop" cable sections at the brake lines, as John did in his Emil.
    Great progress, George! I think one hour of modeling before taking a break is just fine, I usually take a break before. Hope photos will upload!

    @gblair, would love to see the progress, George. Seems like you are having the biggest issues with the picture uploading bug. Are you still in contact with Martin about this issue.

    @gblair, could you try to send your pictures by e-mail to me or one of the other admins in this group, then we can try to upload them for you. I know it is not the best way, but if you want to add them I shall be happy to help (I sent you my email adress in a PM)

    Hi John (@johnb): I let Martin know a week ago about the issues I was still having, as well as the things I had tried to resolve the problem. I can let him know the problems continue. Is everyone else still having the same problem, or is it only on my end?

    Thanks, Erik (@airbum). I will try to send you a photo that would not load on my end. If it loads on your end, then it must be something here. I appreciate you offering to load photos for me, but that would be a drain on your time. I really want to figure out why my photos won't load here. My upload issue started with the website migration, so there must be something that happened that interrupts the upload process either on my end or the website end. Cheers

    @gblair, I do too still have issues uploading a picture once in a while.

    Same for me, my friend @gblair. If it does not upload, I usually succeed in re-uploading.

    Thanks, John (@johnb) and Spiros (@fiveten). It sounds like we all have the same trouble, except that reloading doesn't work for me. When I have a photo fail to load, multiple attempts have never worked. I posted to Martin yesterday and let him know I was still having problems.

    Hi everyone, @gblair, @johnb and @fiveten, re uploading photos, I’ve posted a fair amount this weekend and had no problems except with one photo, which happened to be last picture I wanted to post on my Yamaha WIP. I tried four times and it kept being deleted. I tried again about one hour later and it transferred with no problem. @martin @techsupport, maybe it’s a problem when the system is particularly busy? This picture transferred OK.
