Nose Gear Retraction Mechanism Part 2

Made the two TAIS tabs that keep the rudder pedals from falling under their own weight. They make me feel good because they are the first parts I made without my dad's supervision. Of course they look better now, the picture was taken before I buffed them. Also did a check to see my progress on building the retraction system found here and here. I should now have the full amount of hardware required to finish the chapter. Worm and gear have come in to. So far the single most expensive part I've bought for the Long is the universal for $100. It was the same price everywhere I looked. Last, not even mentioned here are all of the stupid little bushings that took forever to make. I will say that I expected there to be more composite work in a composite airplane. My goal is to finish chapter 13 before the summer ends. Much more to come.
