Installing Landing Gear Mount

I've started installing the landing gear mounts and have finished the right one except for torquing the nuts and bolts. It wasn't terribly hard but it did take a lot of taking the mount on and off and then incrementally trimming and filing. I did have to remove the three platenuts on the gold anodized flange just above the piece of wood in the picture. They will be easy to reinstall and they were getting in the way.

 

Here, I've temporarily installed the right landing gear. It looks small in the picture but it's really a beefy hunk of metal. It will look larger with the wheels, wheel pants and fairings installed.
