Caught up to where I was so long ago. Remeasured
the strut position and found it off. The leading edge was about
5/8" too far forward. I emailed Nat to get an opinion on how to
best handle this issue.
While waiting I decided to start on the landing brake. I pried
off the brake from the bottom. Cutting around the edge when I
glassed the bottom payed off. It was real easy to remove the
brake.

Cut LB-23 and LB-19 from birch plywood. Made LB-19
1" wider for electric landing brake per FAQ. Routed out groove for
LB-23 and its slugs. Attached LB-23 and LB-19 to hinge and test fit
in place. Cut foam off of landing brake for LB-19 and hinge and
test fit. |

Reglued all the slugs on LB-23. Made the 1/8"
depression in the fuselage bottom under the landing brake. Sanded
smooth and rounded the glass edge. Made one LB-18. Ruined the other
by over bending it. |

Glued LB-23 into the fuselage bottom. Went back to
the landing gear strut. Elongated all 1/4" holes in the landing
gear bulkheads so the leading edge of the strut was in better
position. Bolted MG-1s and MG-2s into position and drilled all the
#10 holes. Drilled out the center to 5/8" and test fit with the
MG-4s. All looking good so far. |

Drilled out the tabs on the strut to 3/4" and test
fit the MKMGAs into place. Fit just right. Test fit into fuselage.
Nearly perfect fit. Will flox everything in place when I get new
screws.
Removed landing brake from LB-23 after drilling #21 sized holes
through hinge, LB-23, and slugs. Calculated slot for electric
landing brake. Cut slot and cut away and shaped foam. Ready for
glassing.
