Full update of last weeks work. More fiberglass for the canopy and landing gear installed.
More fiberglass layers and filler and a lot of sanding
Fitting the tail wheel spring and wheel
This process required quite a bit of hand fitting with 400 grit emery cloth . This is a very tight machine fit .
Fitting the tail wheel spring and wheel
Fitting and installing the gear legs to engine mount, nice fit
Fabricate and install the soft aluminum brake lines from the firewall the calipers . I installed these per the plans and I'm not liking this setup . These lines will be replaced next week with Aeroquip 303 flexible hose and 491 fittings . The cheap aluminum tubing may be ok but it may not . I have repaired other aircraft where the alum tubing cracked and broke due to flexing . Not worth taking a chance IMHO .
