Ralph Finch RV-9A Build


Date: 1-9-2011
Number of Hours: 5.00
Manual Reference:
Brief Description: Continue landing gear support install

Continue cutting and fitting the landing gear supports OK, still need to test install the attaching bolts... Notes: The hole in the bottom fuse skin needs to be overlarge (beyond the paper template) to allow for the weldment to fit. Watch for other obstructions, for instance, Image 2 shows trimming a fuse brace end to allow the landing gear piece to fit.

Looking at landing gear leg fit in bottom skin

Had to trim a fuse brace so landing gear would fit

Both landing gear braces installed
