Time to install the Landing Gear Mounts
I took quite a few pictures of this installation. So you will see the best pictures from both left and right installations. First off, I had to use my rounded file to remove part of the flange from the main wing spar, using the existing gear leg hole as pattern. After the fit of the gear mount I noticed that I didn't have to remove any of skin metal in the rear of the existing gear leg hole, only the forward part of the hole. I also found that I had to remove more of the forward part of the gear leg hole than was there originally, just to make sure that the gear mount didn't hit it after all the bolts where tight.
