BT HellCat.....
Kirk....Nice mods and pics.....I use the same set-up on "ALL" my warbirds with a couple of other additions......I glass the balsa sheeting inside the the gearwell above the mounts to stop any skin cracks from a hard landing here or there......I also strengthen the shear webs on those ribs/spar areas aft of the gear mounts and then add some ply to aft side of L/E fwd of gear mounts.....I ran out of gas powering up for a Go-Around 10 ft off the runway on my P-51 several months ago....had a forced landing and bent the robart struts 75* and did nothing to the mounts...only had to replace the outer struts on each gear.....beats pulling the gear out of the wings..........Bill.......
