Finally got back to shop today after finishing all the hurricane Florence prep around the house and got the nose gear mounting templates cut out of wood for a dry fit. I will not glue them in until I get the nose gear door hinges and can determine the size of the relief cut outs for the hinges. The dry fit will allow temporary install of the nose gear for checking the toe in angle of the main gear which is where all the work so far is going.
