Brief Description:  Fitting the brakes

Time to do the second leg which meant rolling the fuselage to the opposite side.

This allowed me to clean up the inside of the right leg as shown in pic1. The left leg didn't need so much cut out for the brake caliper as the two axles are in a slightly different position relative to the centre of the leg. After setting it all up there was about .3" difference which I had to fix to make things straight. The legs didn't care.

Pic 2 shows the cleaned up cutout and pic 3 shows a fitting check of the brake caliper and axle. There need to be clearance between the brake and the leg of at least a 1/16' or .10" depending on which part of the plans you read.
