Dont judge me! You know you do it too. Anyways, was trying to see if my weight would cause the nose to come down. As you can see she likes being a tail dragger.

I took cardboard and bent it around the socket and overlapped per the manual. Then took this cardboard and made a new template for cutouts. This made the layups go really quick.

Put in a 2x4 in the main wing spar tunnel and located the pins. This was only used to aid in keeping the plane from tipping.

Here the axles are getting the green goop. I used car carnauba wax as a release agent. Worked well jut get it on there thick. We also wrapped the top of the sockets with glad wrap to keep contaminates off of it while we moved it around.

Started to make the axle jig. Used a simple setup of first taking large flat blocks of wood and caulking it to the floor somewhere over FS70. Then that allows me to fix the aluminum angle with a single screw once in its final position.
