Hello All,
Happy to announce that w/ my mono-LG in the retract position w/
fuselage in cradle, top all clecoed on, I now have wings (trial mount)
in place...it's beginning to look like an airplane. I've also been
introduced to the subtlety and nuance of alignment and pip pins; I take
my hat off to those who have mastered solo setups from a trailer before
every flight!
BTW, I've trial fitted my mono-LG and have it blocked in the retract
position w/ the bottom of the swing arm flush w/ underside of fuselage
and the top of the 8.00 x 6 tire just kissing the brake cylinder. With
the retraction lever all the way forward and locked in the gate, the
wing arm sags a bit when I remove the blocking though there is no
movement of the lever; is this normal? I have not yet installed the
bungee cord; will the bungee cure this sagging?
