Over the last few weeks I've done quite a bit of preparation for painting the fuselage & main landing gear leg & had two fairly major changes of mind. Firstly PGC & I have decided to purchase the latest version of the engine cowls as the coolant & oil cooling is much improved with them so the work I have done on my cowl has been for nought and secondly, I've decided to complete the installation of the main gear prior to painting. Last Monday GAM & PGC helped me remove the engine & place it back in its crate, thank you both very much, we then swapped the main undercarriage leg & installed the serviceable unit, I now need to modify the doorway to my workshop as the gear is too wide to pass through the existing door.
A milestone reached today by installing the last skin.
