Brief Description:  Grove Gear install #1

My daughter Lauren came into the garage tonight to help me flip the canoe and get it off of the rotisserie. I had to use a car jack to actually jack up the rotisserie stand and then Lauren lined up the saw horse for me and slid it under. The stand for the rotisserie was then removed.

Once on the saw horses, I went back and forth to get the fuselage level laterally and longitudinally. Once that was done, a ran a sting from the firewall to the tail and then added the plumb bobs.
Tomorrow, I'll mark my centre line, pick up some aluminum angle, 4 more plumb bobs, and two new drill bits (5/16th and 7/16th).

I have legs bolted on with the one 7/16th bolt. I checked the hardware that came with the grove gear, and I'm missing the washers and several bolts. I sent an email off to Grove aircraft to get the missing hardware and also posted on VAF what the hardware is, in case I can get the proper hardware locally.

Been reviewing numerous sites for the setup and drilling of the brackets. Should be good to go.
