Looking at the underside you
can see the lower radius block. The AN6 bolts hanging down are temporary
while I wait for the drilled ones and castle nuts. They will be put in
with the heads down so that they are easier to fair in. The cotter pins
will keep the nuts on and prevent the bolts from falling out in this position.
I had to tap the bolts in with a soft mallet. I don't think they would
drop out if the nut did come off.

With the side view you can
see the taper of the gear to the rear. If I flip the gear and mounting
brackets to the front side of the spar I could make my bird a tail dragger.
NA, just thinking out loud. I still need to do some more clearancing for
the gear leg to fuselage junction.

Here are the Matco brake master
cylinders and the AN-3 lower brake lines. The 12" long brake lines
are Teflon lined stainless steel braided with swaged on strait and 90
degree fittings. I could have used 9" lines but these were in stock
and the 9" ones would have to be custom made and cost a lot more.
Steel AN nipples are used through out. For the C-90
brakes I have to find an AN-3 to female 1/8" pipe or use a 1/8"
npt coupler.
