Default RE: COMP-ARF A-4 BUILD

Well, I've just encountered the first problem. The nose gear mount installed in the fuse comes pre-drilled. The problem is that the holes don't match the landing gear mount. 3 holes on the mount, 5 holes in the gear & none of the three in the mount match up with the gear.




Net result, I had to re-drill new holes from the bottom, but unfortunately had to be thru the fuse as well in order to get access:


I got them all lined up & done & now have to patch the holes in the fuse bottom. I decided to back up the gear mount with an added carbon fiber plate because of the extra holes drilled. The nose gear is installed & functions properly.
