Next step is to bolt in the landing gear weldments, however before you can do this the instructions say to insert the gear legs into the weldments and match-ream the locating hole that holds the leg aligned.
I was quite suprised that there's just a single bolt holding each gear leg in.
Anyway, after cleaning the inside of the weldment tubes with fine sandpaper, and giving the gear legs a light buff on the scotchbrite wheel, I managed to get them in and aligned. It took a bit of brute force, but I got there.
The instructions call for a 0.311" reamer. Gee, not many people would have one of those lying around. Lucky I read ahead a couple weeks ago and realised I'd need this obscure size bit of tooling. I'd ordered the right size reamer from Cleaveland Tools and it arrived just a couple days ago.
Worked a treat, and the AN4 bolts fit nice and snug in their newly reamed holes. They'd want to. Cost me $45 to get this reamer delivered from the States, and after using it on two holes I doubt if I'll ever use it again.
Putting my 0.311" reamer to work. This'll probably be the only time I ever use this.
