Dec 08, 2022     Wheel pant brackets and rudder tip - (3 hours)       Category: Landing Gear

Jacked up the fuselage and reinstalled correctly the inboard wheel pant brackets and jack points. Fabricated an extension to the saw horse to support the gear while we completed the installation. Sam also epoxied the aluminum backer plate to the interior of the upper rudder tip and should be able to install rivets tomorrow.

Sam and I began removing the wheel and tire on the right side to install the wheel pant bracket that was not previously installed.

Used the Flyboy Jack point I bought a while ago to jack up the gear and rotate the tires to prevent getting flat spots. It worked great on the left wheel, but I was unable to remove it from the right wheel due to interference between the bolt on the jack point and the rotor of the brake.
