I would like to thank Chris Tracy and his "westcoastpiet" website for the excellent tutorial on how to mark out these cuts - without this description, it would have taken much longer than the 10 hours that I have into these two parts (including the jig building time). The next side should be able to be knocked out by the end of the weekend. Now to the question. Is the ash block supposed to be glued to the landing gear legs or do you rely on the side plates and bolts only for this joint? My thoughts are that the glue would provide a substance to fill any remaining void between the legs and the ash block and would help transfer the loads between these pieces. However, if one were to ever need to replace a gear leg for any reason, it would be easier to just unbolt the leg and not have to worry about a glued joint at that point. Thanks all! It is good to be building again.

The adhesive won't hold much because it is glued to the end grain of the gear legs. Your idea that the adhesive will fill any voids is a valid idea. The ash block is glued to the legs on NX18235. I just got back from a flight with the winds 18kts gusting to 24kts 40 degrees off the nose. The landing gear held up to my abuse just fine.
