Default Two Geeks and a Service Bulletin

Some stop motion footage of the the Nosegear Mod and oil change for N789PH that I finished tonight. It was not so bad. Notice the cheater bars on the die handles. Took lots of force........

OK guys, that was worth logging in while on vacation for....my only comment is that from the look of the stocking caps, you need to get Bernie to let you turn up the heat!

Back to the ski slopes...

May I ask how you held the tail down? I can't quite see it from the video, I had the idea of a weight strapped around the fuse at the back or through the tiedown ring?
