Installed the main landing gear.
I enlisted the help of my oldest son to help me turn the fuselage over after installing the man landing gear. This required lifting up each end another 12" so the landing gear bow could clear the ground.
Next I'll install the engine mount and the front landing gear.

I temporarily installed the main landing gear. This involved drilling four hours in to the fuselage central box..
The main landing gear and retaining brackets are very heavy duty - and heavy.
I won't be able to install the front landing gear until I first install the engine mount - so I have awhile to go.
