Default RE: Epoxy in small hole

Ro, I had the same type of problem with my Tiger 60 as I drilled the holes for the landing gear too large.
This caused alot of slop. A quick fix is to drill the hole a bit larger like 5/16 and put someting on the bottom
keep the epoxy from dripping out so that it fills the hole, then redrill to the size of the gear. this will allow the repair to be a
bit stronger. another easy fix would be to drill the existing hole to 5/16 then go to home depot/lowes, and get
a 5/16 hardwood dowel and epoxy into the hole, drill the dowel to the size of the landing gear, this is what I did
and it is extremely strong.
