This entry covers work performed over the past couple of weeks. Between Oshkosh and my job, this is the first time in a while that I've had a chance to come up for air and do some work on the airplane.
I've begun attaching the gear legs. First, I hoisted the forward fuselage high into the air with an engine hoist. (I used a strap tied around the upper part of the engine mount, and it worked great.) Next, I placed some concrete blocks and 2x4s under the wooden spar legs to get the proper height. After temporarily attaching the right gear leg, I realized that I'd have to slightly enlarge the holes in the cabin floor where the brake line fittings will protrude, so I removed the legs in order to accomplish that. More later.
