Brief Description:  Wheel pants

Leveled the fuselage (set the tail wheel up 26 3/8", at least that is what works in my garage). For whatever reason, the LH wheel pant had a tape line marking level on it. The RH one I had to measure and add a tape line. Drilled the holes in the wheel pants to 3/32, then put a cleco in the outboard hole to let it center on the hole in the axle. Put the pants in place, noticed that the inboard side needed to go down a little more, so trimmed a little more near the brake arm. Leveled the wheel pants using the level line taped on the side, and drilled them in place. Didn't get any farther with enlarging the holes or tapping them. Removed all the tape from the wheel pants and set the tail wheel back on the ground.
