Finished bolting the gear support to the gear channel and sides of fuselage. Not an easy task.
Several issues arise in this process: •Should have left the rear baggage bottoms un-riveted. The space is too small to effectively get to the bolts at the rear of the gear channel. •The “L” angle supports on the top outer edge of the gear channel and the sides must be riveted to the gear channel before installing the gear supports. •Rear outside flange of the seat pans show 5 rivet holes. There is no way to install all of those because they conflict with the gear supports. Finished bolting the gear support to the gear channel and sides of fuselage. Not an easy task.
