Berni -

Two things.  First, all you do is make a huge glob of micro on the side of =
the fuselage.  If you look at finished Lancairs, you will see that the glob=
, when painted, is not objectionable.  I agree that it looks weird when you=
 are making it, however.

Second, you can make the glob much smaller if you bend the handle.  The for=
ward part of the handle that engages with the interior components needs to =
stay perpendicular to the internal mechanism.  However, just aft of this, t=
he fuselage is necking inwards.  I bent the handle so that it goes parallel=
 to the fuselage, and this allowed a much smaller glob of mirco.  Take the =
handle apart, tape it to protect the chromed surface, clamp it in a vise, a=
nd bend it.  That's what I did and it was pretty easy.  I think I probably =
put a block of wood on it and pushed, rather than beating on it with a hamm=
er.  But it was so long ago that I don't remember.

You should consider how you lift the handle out of the glob.  I made a dimp=
le in the micro at the aft end of the handle.  I can get my fingertip behin=
d the handle and lift it away from the micro.

Sorry, no pictures today...
