F-18C BLUE ANGELS by Jet Legend

[S.W.]

The tail exhaust pipe is then aligned with the tail of the turbine and finally supported by birch plywood frames.

[S.W.]

All tubings on the front of the canopy has to be sorted out carefully and any twisted tubings had to be discovered and straightened, don't want to have any kinked tubings affecting correct operation of the retracts, doors and brakes...

[S.W.]

A small birch plyplate was created to house the servo operating the brake valve and gear door valve...and the rest of the Jetronic proportional brake valve, retract valve, door sequencer and powerbox power distribution system...

[S.W.]

After full assembly, C.G. was balanced as per Jet Legend manual and all landing gears and doors were tested. She's now finally ready to fly!

[S.W.]

And flew she did! Congratulations to Dwayne (FONZ).
