Install landing gear onto fuselage 

3.0

fuselage

DETAIL:

I picked up the shock tubes from the local Piper shop this week.  I didn't have the tools needed to pull the bungee's over the shock tubes.  They charged me $75 which was a bit more than I had expected but at least it's done. 

I was then able to bolt up the rest of the landing gear and set the plane up on the wheels!

After I had the plane on the gear I did a bit of work on the walking beam and mount.  

Some of you may have noticed I've slowed down a bit over the past few weeks.  It's getting hot here in AZ.  It was 107 yesterday.  It's just too damn hot to work in the garage during the summer.  I only work early in the morning or at night and even then I can only do an hour or so at a time.  Hoping to pick up the pace this coming September.
