Lug Brake Line

Not much to say, easy parts to do... except for the hole diameter, which i made a little wider (3/16") these because i noticed that the AN526-1032 screw fits better in these way!

Landing gear bumper plates...and more!

Worked on landing gear bumper plates today, easy task to complete! plans call a number 44 drill bits to make holes, but i can't find one...so i used a 2.5mm drill bit, the difference in hole diameter from #44 to my 2.5mm is only 0.002 inch...so no make sense to worry about!

I've also prepared two straps, (#13 on plans) that will be welded around the rear bushing legs, and two more (#14 on plans) to weld around tubes and between the two plates! I know.... will be more clear when i'll put everything together.

Landing gear Rear Bushing

Today i spent time building the "-27 channel" that supports the tube against the rear landing gear leg.Really tedious work, it took many hours to complete these pieces.
First i had to build a new bending block, than i bend two 0.050/4130 steel sheets and draw templates.
Than i worked with grinder and files to give them the final shape.

Strap 11

Continuing work on the front legs of the landing gear. Before folding these 0.050 steel sheets i had to build a new bending blok, where i lost time! Is made by a 0.500 diameter bolt shank welded against a steel plate, it is not nice to see but it works great!

Landing gear stuff !

Today the good news is that my father in law decided to help me building some pieces! and the beautiful one is that, he is a good builder! 
I know...i know, is my project and i should suffer in these hell alone, but.. always better to cheat by buying stuff !
so, here is his work!

 three more bits! still need four.















  

 
In the meantime I've started with the landing gear construction...some pics of front legs.
