Main Wheels / Breaks

Can you believe that is has been over a year since I have posted!!! I have been pretty much out of parts for most of that time as I have completed the fuselage kit. New life now as I have finally ordered and received the Finishing Kit!!! My first task is to put the main gear and wheels on. I a sick of lugging this thing around the garage on sawhorses.

First here is a look at the parts. Wheels and break disks, break calipers tubes and tires and associated odds and ends. I still don't believe it. I don't think the drawn plans are all that clear. It took me almost 9 hours to finally get this right. I must have taken them apart 5 times. The instructions are much more clear after finishing. Funny thing is that I have done this before on an RV-6. Guess memory isn't all that great.
