Richard,
Certainly a prudent suggestion. Though my bird has yet to fly, my
workshop allows for full assembly and that's exactly what I did.
I would emphasize that my outrigger retraction/deployment mechanism was
fitted exactly as per plans and I did NOT do any filing or nibbling to
bolt holes or slots in OR 5 (or other components) in the original
assembly or in any adventurous attempts to eliminate the sag of the
outriggers.

PS: Here in the US we're in the midst of the Thanksgiving holiday...last
nite I learned from my machinist's father that he's away for a few
days...so I won't be getting cost confirmation and delivery time for a
bit.
