Actual work started the 2nd week of August.
Bob Rullie recommended to check the toe in angle of the main landing gear first since his was way off. He sent his to be converted to electric to improve the reliability and it took several months. His recommendation was to get that started so work could continue on other parts when the gear were away if necessary.
This set up a work plan which needed the gear to be mounted to check the toe in angle. This required mounting the gear, which required mounting of the wings, which required formers, turbine rails, and wing root hard points to firmly mount the wings and check the gear...whew!
Eat the elephant one bite at a time. First step was to cut out gear doors and servo wells.
