After getting the engine mounted & the cowl cut for clearances, I went after the landing gear.

I wanted to use 10-32 nylon wing bolts to anchor the main gear for break-away action in case of a botched landing.

After removing the metric factory "T" nuts, I drilled out the holes to 1/4" to accommodate the 10-32 "T" nuts. I pulled them in W/some steel 10-32 bolts before substituting the nylon examples.


After assembling the wheels/pants as well as installing the tail wheel, she can now stand on her own 3 feet.
