Jan 03, 2021     Service Bulletin 2 (problem solved)       Category: Landing Gear
Yesterday I finally drilled the 1/4" holes in the landing gear mounts for service bulleting 2. This was particularly difficult because of the 4" space needing to get the drill into. I used stubby hex drill bits on 90 degree adapters. Although the pictures are grainy it shows the successful bolts through the landing gear mounts. The blue tape is because I still need to place 1/4 inch ply on the mounts. Fortunately I did not glue them in place before the service bulletin. Of course, (by increasing the amount of metal involved) the bolts are now too short for mounting the rest of the landing gear so I need to order longer bolts.
