It's too bad that Van's didn't mention that it's virtually impossible to install the compression brake line fitting (F69-F-04X02) as called for in Step 5., page 35iS/U-08, AFTER the main landing gear are installed. If someone has a technique for installing this fitting I'm all ears, otherwise I'll have to remove the fuel tank, then loosen (or remove) the landing gear legs in order to be able to access the threaded hole on the aft side of the gear legs with the compression fitting. Hopefully the gear legs would still be in alignment when reinstalled.
For those who have not yet installed their gun drilled gear legs, now would be a good time to install the above mentioned fitting, rather than attempt it AFTER the legs have been installed.
