@@markphillips1692 so I should think that as long as I clean it off well, there should not be a problem. And with the marker I would clean it as well. Reason I might want to use a merciless is that mechanical pencil will be much more accurate than a sharpie. Ok, maybe the ultra fine sharpie might give it a run for the money, but a .38mm? That is hard to beat. So it’s a trade of accuracy for what might not be a valid concern (lead) any more. The lesson is still valid though, to make sure you are not applying or leaving something on the surface that could be detrimental. To your point, if some residue of pencil graphite were left, then it would not provide a Good surface for paint binding. And now that I think more on it, because graphite is so slippery, it might be hard to fully remove. The marker will actually dissolve in the alcohol or acetone, which the graphite will not. Ok, I’ve bought in. Lead pencil should not be used just because there is a risk of residue that is hard to remove, meaning it might not get removed, and so that is just one less risk we need to worry about. Thanks!

Thanks for the walk around. I’m so impressed and learned a few things I never knew. Spot welds!? Wow! Aluminum to aluminum? Is that original method? Just surprised to learn they spot welded aluminum back then. What did you use to spot weld? And a working turbo supercharger system!!! So glad to see that! My father was a P-47 mechanic with the 9th AAF and supported operations all the way to Germany. He said it was very impressive when that turbo kicked in during power runs. Question: I suppose you use 100LL gasoline. Since the original fuel used was 130 octane does using 100LL cause any problems? Especially with high manifold pressures? I’d be worried about detonation in the cylinders.

Great video. Mark, would the use of the hydraulic cart change the sequencing of the gear? Here it looks like both gear retract almost simultaneously while planes I've videoed at various air shows typically have the port gear retract 3/4 faster than that of the starboard side. Asking as I am building a 1/6 scale rc Razorback and would like to get gear movement as scale as possible. Appreciate an insight you can provide. Thank you.
