Jan 14, 2023     Installed the landing gear - (21.4 hours)       Category: Landing Gear
Performed section 46, installing both main and nose landing gear. I purchased Matco wheels and brakes, the WHL 600XLT kit, plus a Matco nose wheel and axle. This upgrade is significant with better nose wheel and installation, but also much more powerful brakes (6 pistons vs 2 stock). I bought retread tires from Wilkerson Tires in Virginia; a lot more rubber and MUCH lower price than a new set.

I also completed the FF1 drawing except for mounting the engine. I bought stainless steel heater valves from ACS for two reasons; they provide better sealing protection to the firewall in the event of a fire, but they also have a higher quality flapper that is an improvement over the stock valves. Worth the money.


 
Sep 28, 2019     Matco Wheels & Brakes - (.2 hour) Category: Landing Gear
I bought a complete set of wheels, axles and brakes. I also bought their parking brake and a reservoir from Matco. I like Matco's products and wanted to with what I know, and just happens to be a good quality product with great support.
