Brief Description:	MLG Outer Cover, LB install
Torqued up Landing Brake/Hinge bolts/nuts. Made a support for the exterior of the MLG Outer Cover out of 1" insulation foam. Not a good choice as the bondo slightly melted the foam. Floxed on Actuator Bracket and torqued up screws/nuts. Layed up inside of MLG Outer Cover, 1 x 2" tape over flange, then 2 x BID overall, mostly out of scraps, running out of good size scraps though. Spent an age getting my head around the axle install instructions. Convinced I'm missing something, because however I look at it there is interference between the Axle and the Caliper, when all is assembled on the Torque Plate. I'm, (quite unfashionably), using the plans Cleveland brakes. Some people I trust have them, I don't see a huge advantage in being able to melt my gear legs with a really hard stop. :) I also have a high-capacity conversion kit for the Clevelands, but not planning to install it unless testing reveals a need, or maybe use it for servicing later. Started a ply template of the MLG Strut cutline, and to get my head around the Caliper clearance. This is a puzzlement and an embuggerance. Time to hit the archives, or ask some questions.
