Which do you put in first in a tri gear? The legs or the compression strut
between the rear of the wings (W36 tie bar assembly)?
Hi Will,
Get the leg socket in, with rib 1 bonded in, then ''dry fit'' the tie bar,
and trim rib 2 to clear the tie bar.Rather than sculpt away a hollow in rib 2
to clear the tie bar, go for a straight line from top of the socket, down
under the bar. Remove the bar, glass in rib 2.
Do the same ''dry fit'' for the forward inboard ribs. Do the lay up's onto
the tank bulkhead for the tie bar re-enforcement at the same time. Real bugger
to do with the top on, you will need to support the fuselage well if you
have the top off. Have the top on for the lift / drag socket / tie bar
installation.
If you have the top on already, get a left [ kack] handed helper to do the
Port side !
Have fun!
Cheers,
Nev.
