Gas Struts on T/U

How did you guys get your fingers in behind the F-721B deck to secure the ball stud aft mount (it's secured with AN509-8R12 screws). I just can't get my fingers in there, am I missing a trick?

Nutplates

Hi Shiney,

From a suggestion here on VAF, I made plate w/ a couple of nutplates on the back end. Still a bit of PITA, especially on the left side above the side canopy latch, but a _LOT_ better than messing with washers and nuts.

Regards,

Chad,

That picture of a picture came out really cool. I almost didn't recognize it.

I know! In my picture of your picture of your plate nuts/plans/ball joint looks real! What?
