Big Hammer
No kidding,
My landing gear weldment seemed to be distorted as well and all of the suggestions mentioned were employed in my build. A couple of blows with a big hammer finally aligned most of the holes. You do want the weldment flush with the spar face and persuade only the forward facing brace with the hammer. That worked for me and as a side note I have no shimmy in the landing gear. |
No Sweat
I have to say I had no real issues......
I filed off the edges to get rid of the powder coat, lightly greased the top of the gear leg and in it went. Getting the bolt in took just a little "persuasion" with a soft hammer. |
I finally got the mount fitted into the fuselage. This took over 10 hours. Had to pound on the forward support arm. Purchased some hardware bolts to tighten against the spar. Finally everything fit. Felt like quitting, but I knew that was not the right thing to do. Finally I can move on to the fuselage skins.
