Today I installed
the left main gear leg. I moved the
fuselage into the garage area after moving Arlene's car onto the driveway. I was able to install the outboard bracket
using the 5/16x3 bolts I purchased the other day. I inserted the gear leg and dropped in the
bolts for the inboard bracket. I was
able to get the nuts started on all of the bolts. Arlene assisted me with the outside
bracket. AS I pulled one of the
temporary bolts and inserted the correct shorter bolts Arlene was able to put
the nuts on. I then had her hold a
wrench on the nuts and bolts while I used the torque wrench to torque all 10
bolts and nuts. I am now ready to
install the wheels on the main gear and install the nose gear and wheel.
