I know, an old thread. I have been dormant in the building catagory for the last 10 years, been flying my first RV8. Anyway just picked another kit and going to get stared on.
Regarding the gear tower mod, why not cut the cover in two locations above and below existing cutouts and install a doubler plate top and bottom and replace all the rivets with screws?
