Revision to RV-12/12iS sections re 45-degree fittings on gun drilled gear legs

FYI, we have published an update to the Kit Assembly Instructions (KAI) for the RV-12 and RV-12iS, which includes changes to the install sequence for upper 90-degree fitting on gun-drilled gear legs.

Before this change, the plans called for the installation of the fittings at a point that required some disassembly, which is clearly far less than optimal. The updated plans now specify installation of the fittings at the proper point to avoid this problem.

Here are links to the revised sections for both the legacy (RV-12) and current (RV-12iS) KAI:

There is another problem with the order of operations in this section regarding brake line fittings. The bottom 90-degree fitting cannot be installed once the wheels are on. Page 35iS/U-08, Step 1.
