Date:  11-8-2009
Number of Hours:  7.00
Manual Reference:  46
Brief Description:  Gear completed

I was able to get the main gear mounted and it now rests on its own legs. I still have to run the brake lines olong the legs but that should be fairly quick as I have the Banaco flexible lines. I also have the modified wheel pant mount that Tim O did as part of a group by a while back so I shouldn't have any problems with that in the future. I also spent some time trying to get the gear legs aligned properly. What I ended up doing is dropping a plumb bob off of the two main spar mounts and putting a line on the ground that is parallel to the aircraft fuselage. I then used a square to check the alignment of the axles before final drilling them. I believe I have abut 1 degree of toe in so I should be good. It is very easy to end up way off from a small movment of the legs so this should be part of the plans in my opinon.
