Well, first off, if you are doing a gear retrofit, the 'Milescraft Drive-90' is an indispensible tool... Absolutely the smallest 90-degree close-quarters drill head I could find, it allows me to work within the space of the existing gear holes without cutting out the top wingskin, or making the

I use white vinyl like the lettering for n numbers. It's fairly cheap, comes in any color, and as long as you are very careful it looks great.

Dan's idea is better, but this one is quicker. Purchase a set of replacement slats for vertical blinds. Trim the length to fit and attach with a couple of screws on each end. BTW, I didn't notice any difference in flight characteristics without the gap covers but the plane seemed to be slig

Paolo, "TYP" does stand for typical as Pat and Robin indicated. What does that mean? On drawing 39, as an example, the radii referred to as TYP would be the same dimension for each side. When you are following a drawing a lot of the information is not duplicated when it is "typical". Hope this help
