Legacy Aviation Super Chipmunk

Dihedral looks good to me........RE: tires, yeah, they could be a little wider, but not much, the wheel pants need to be wider for sure, looking at that pic.
Yeah I was thinking a little wider on the tires and more on the gear fairing. The intakes on the cowling are new and not mapped so I can't paint them black yet. But they will be when I map it. Oh. The wheel pants will get wider with the tire width, but I don't plan to make them as wide as their picture. I don't care for them that wide and who knows the released version of the Legacy Chipmunk may have a bit narrower wheel pants.

Here's the last tweak I made to the gear.

1. Gear fairing 5% wider at top.
2. Tire and wheel pant 3.58% wider.
3. The tail gear was moved up .25 inches. (not seen in picture)

It's ready to start mapping. I'll add the dihedral back after I map it.

I just finished the first pass of mapping. Now I need to resize everything to their relative size and move them to the grid used to create the color scheme template. I mention the little details for the people reading the build thread that aren't familiar with how mapping is done.

Cool! I am very excited!
