I made the NG 30's and F 5. At first I decided to wait for the nose lift before moving on. Steve Wright sent me a copy of his plans so I changed my mind and carried on without the hardware. The electric nose lift can be retrofitted, so I figure it can be added after I've done the nose. I drilled all the holes per Steves plans, made some 3 inch wood blocks and taped the nose gear structure together.
This chapter got quite big, so I've broken it into two sections:
Builing the nose
Rudder pedals and nose lift
