Brief Description:  Brake lines to the gear

I installed the pipe fitting side of the brake line fittings into the Grove one-piece gear (with loctite). I then installed the gear on the fuselage. It took me a bit as I first had the gear in backwards and it took me a bit to figure out why the holes were slightly off in the middle...

After getting the gear installed on the fuse, I started fitting the brake lines from the upper bulkhead down into the gear towers and onto the gear fitting, It took some time as the gear was on the fuse so the fuse was sitting inverted. The rotisserie isn't tall enough for the fuse to be upright while the gear is on so I just had to make due crawling under - installing the tubing, seeing how much needed to be cut off, then pulling it off, cutting off 1/4" and then repeating the process. I have the right and left tubes where they fit.
