After I finished the brake installation, I decided to install the main gear legs. It took a couple of extra 2x6s under the main support bracket, but aside from a little lifting to get the boards in (much easier now than when the wings are back on), the job couldn't have been simpler. I hope they are there to stay, but I no longer assume anything with this project. If I can get a couple of days of warmer weather I will prime the remaining forward fuselage parts and then get ready to install them.
