Took a break from sanding and gluing and decided to fabricate a new indicator pin. There are indicator pins at the top of each gear leg that extend upwards from the top surface of the wing when the gear is down. They retract flush with the wing surface when the gear is retracted. One of the indicator pins was damaged and unusable. To create this pin I took some 1/2" aluminum rod that I had laying around and turned it on the lathe bringing it to match the 8 mm (approx 5/16") diameter of the original rod. I machined an indicator grove in the rod just like the original and drilled a hole through it to secure it to the landing gear with a clevis pin. Even though it's only aluminum, drilling directly through a small diameter rod is a challenge with a simple drill press. The drill bit doesn't want to penetrate and wants to wander as you're starting the hole. A little bit of patience and careful application of pressure allowed me to get the drill to start properly. Thinking about it some more, I could have run a small diameter file across the edge of the rod to provide a shallow for the drill bit to start in making the process easier. Oh well, next time. To cut the slot in the indicator pin, I carefully used a hacksaw to make two parallel cuts and then widened the slot with a narrow file and some sandpaper. A little bit of red paint to match the original markings and voila. I was pretty pleased with the results considering it was all done by hand.
