By Paul Grubich and Randy Cady

Randy modified a retractable nose wheel for our tail wheel installation. Here it is shown in the down position.

View from the back showing the tail wheel in up position. You can see the two aluminum tubes Randy used to route the steering cable back to the tail wheel arm.

The air can for the tail wheel is located in the inner front wing saddle.

The rear fiberglass gun cap and gunner station are attached and faired in. Very small screws are used to make the end gun cap removable.

 

The top turtle deck is now faired in and ready to mount permanently.

Randy is vacuforming his own windows and nose plastic. Here is the plug for the rear turtle deck top widow.

Here Randy is holding his plug for the Model E nose piece. The E model B-17 had a flatter nose piece than the F.
