The LG is anchored to the insert piece from the back side (a trick I "borrowed" from Julius Perdana's models
). The flaps are put through the hole and glued to the back. This creates a very strong connection.
I noticed that the previous design had to be handled with special care to avoid the LG from being ripped off by accident. This revised version will hopefully be better because the LG can be detached and stored separately from the plane which makes transportation and storage much easier. The LG itself stayed very much the same with two exceptions; lg3 and lg4 have been prolongued by 3.3 mm to compensate for the recess and thickness of the insert piece and the aft end has got some small flaps.
While the glue on the LG was curing I unfolded, textured and tested the parts for the Krait's AWACS dish.
Looking at the first print I noticed that I could make the dish smoother by using paper strips as flaps.
Two small formers with a slit in the middle to join them.
They are added to the center before ...
... the dish is closed.
I like the shape very much but I still need to check out if the angle of the mount matches the angle of the back piece of the quad cockpit. Of course you will be able to use this new part on every other quad TF version!
