Manual Reference: Section 35
Brief Description: Bolted nose gear fork

After a long, cold, and snowy winter, it's good to get back to the hangar without being rurned back by the cold. I prepped up he wheelpant brackets and riveted them to the nose gear assembly, then bolted the nosegear fork onto the fuselage. I torqued the 13 AN3 bolts to about 31-32 inch pounds. I've got to find some Aeroshell 5 grease before continuing. Some news; I'm retiring on May 31, 2019, when I turn 65. I'll have more time to build the plane and less money to buy an engine.
