Title: Landing Gear fitting
Today I decided to see if everything fits.. the holes in the second hand landing gear cross piece to the holes I drilled in the fuselage and the holes in all the connecting parts. "YES!" everything fit. However, (why is there always a "however"?) The after construction notes on the last page of the plans say to use a 2"x2" 1/8 inch aluminum angle iron in place of the flat piece to more evenly distribute the landing load. Here is the however, I had not placed the 1/4 inch spar reinforcing doubler on the fuselage. I had it CNC cut with the other 1/4 inch ply. So I had to take it all apart to cut a notch out of the angle iron and reassemble.
