Vacation Time!

 The family is going on a cruise from Boston Ma to Halifax Canada then to Sydney Canada then on to Price Edward Island and back down to Portland Maine then back to Boston.  

Ironically we are traveling on the exact same ship we were on for 16 days last year for our Hawaiian cruise.

See you in a couple weeks!

Main Gear Leg Mounting Part 1

 Got started on mounting the main gear legs.

The KAI's have you prime these gear leg wear and spacer blocks.

And apply a thin coat of grease to the exposed steel parts.  To prevent rust.

Then I mounted and torqued the large gear leg wear plate.  Make sure you put the two long bolts in before tightening the four screws.  The tolerances are very tight here.

One side down, one side to go!

Gear Leg Fittings

 Installed the brake line fittings in the gear legs.  In the past this was not called out early and folks found out they could not be installed once the gear leg is in place and they would then have to take everything back apart to install them.

Glad I am not the beta tester!

Use the proper thread sealant and pay attention to the clocking of these fittings otherwise you will have extra work ahead if you get them wrong or they leak.
