| Subject: | Re: Glasair IIS - RG Checklist |
For the Glasair2S FT. There are two vertical ribs that are laminated to the
rear fire wall from beneath the header tank to the fuselage floor panel. (Make
sure that the hard foam re enforcement is long enough for the trunnion bolts
that pass through it) Note: you can get the distance of the inside of the ribs
by attaching the trunnion plates to the landing gear and taking a measurement.
The top of the gear attaches by a long bolt to those two trunnion plates.
Note: also use three bolts per trunnion at the rear attachment and use bolts
larger than 3/16 supplied by the kit. There is a platform that rests against the
bottom of the engine mount and that has two dampeners. Some builders locate the
position of those trunnion plates by supporting the tail with the wing
attached and the main landing gear assembled. And with the water line leveled,
next
the assembled nose gear is attached to the engine mount. From that, the
location for the trunnions are marked. Note: try not to have a nose down attitude
for prop clearance. Hope this helps. I have a friend with a 200 HP engine and a
McCauley prop from a Moony that cruises at 220 mph. Have fun.
