Fuselage stand

Brakes

I installed the left brake caliper, and discovered that the tire is rubbing on it. It appears that the brake disk is too close for 26” tires, and the fix is to install a spacer. I’ve emailed Grove about this.

The flexible lines I had made were not flexible enough for the gear leg to caliper joint, so I will remake the lines in aluminium tubing.

Fuselage Stand

In order to remove the gear legs, I need the fuselage on a stand, so I decided to built one out of wood. This will allow me to remove the gear legs, and also to tilt the fuselage on its side for painting.
