Assembly

Many issues were encountered during the assembly phase. The frame would not drop down into the body completely and had to be modified. This offset the duct which needed to be moved further forward. The lift engine did not perfectly line with the shaft and the mountings had to be customised to fit. The front lift fan clearance was offset to the bottom and was touching the paint when rotated.

The wings had a tough time fitting. The frame was offset to the front slightly relative to holes in the body. Modifications were made to the frame, connecting billet and shackles to make them fit.
