Well, even though I didn't update last week, I did get a bit accomplished. I probably won't update the chapter areas until I have more pics but I have some time this week to get a bit of work done and plan on making progress. I managed to get the landing brake floxed into place and cured. I will have to do a bit of sanding and trimming though because it won't open to my satisfaction at this point. Not a hard fix or modification though. I also now have the landing gear to the point where I am ready to do the axle install. Not sure that I'll run the brake lines yet though. I may leave the legs off of the plane for now so that I can leave it on the rotiserie. I have been told to do all of the interior panels while the plane is still on the rotiserie so that it is easier to work on the inside. Seems reasonable to me. This past weekend I was visiting the Mouse down in Orlando, Fl with the family so I don't have any plane work to show for this week. Hey, everyone needs a vacation now and again. Planned for this week: - Work on that landing brake
- Re-cut the hole in the bottom for the actuator
- Work on the Brake actuator install
- Drill and tap the holes for the landing brake hinge
- Work on the Axles
- Align
- Cut the gear legs to shape
- Install
