This is one strong piece of aluminum. Now back to sanding the fiberglass attach points. Not a lot of fun since the temperature has been in the 90's. ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 10:55:29 AM PST US From: Robert Reed Subject: Re: KIS-List: landing gear update Galin, I would recommend Powder Coating for a more durable finish. ( I know you probably already thought of it but you know what they say about assuming.)

It survived 14yrs and 1,100hrs so that is testament it was done correctly. Now back to sanding and grinding away.
