Jul 24, 2019 4 Oshkosh or no? Category: Landing Gear
Drove to Oshkosh but Camp Scholler was closed because of flooding, so drove back home, my plans for four days dashed. So I figured I might as well work on the plane.

Over several sessions, I cut the forward and aft pieces along the scribe line, sanded, fit them together and drilled where I'm suppose to drill. It fit pretty rough but a lot of sanding and trial and error got them fitting pretty well.

I also drilled out the attach hole on either side (first to 3/4" and then to 1") for the Bogeybar to attach to when moving the plane (someday!) in an out of the hangar.

I bent and drilled the side attach strips and fit both front and back together and sanded and test fit. Rinse. Repeat.

I sanded off a little too much on the right side so at some point I'll do some cosmetic epoxying to close up the gap.
