| Subject: | Main gear installation |
Anyone have a great idea about how to raise the fuselage enough to install the
main gear legs? Currently I have it on a wood dolly about 18 inches off the floor.

Bob,
I had a similar situation. I added some extra 2x4's to the bottom
of my dolly, so that I would have ground clearance for the landing gear
to the floor, since I will need to keep the plane on the dolly to get it
out of the garage. I then used some additional 2x4's and a 4x4 in the
front to get it high enough to insert the gear legs. I believe that I
had to go to 30" of ground clearance to insert them. I also needed to
remove the mid-seat-rail support to be able to insert the bolt.

I placed a sawhorse under the rear fuselage .... as far fwd as I could
get it and used my engine hoist attached to the engine lift rings.
Inserting the gear legs was far easier than I thought it would be.

No pictures, but I just lifted the fuselage up on top of my EAA style
workbench with the help of a couple strong backs. Was the perfect
height and width. After the gear was on, just lifted the tail up and
slid out the workbench.

Engine hoist strapped to the engine mount (nylon straps, not a chain). A
stand for under the tail once you get it lifted.
Without an engine the airplane will not be stable - so you need more than a
temporary tail stand if you are planning on delaying mounting the engine.
Even after engine mount if you still need to be crawling around the tail
cone a tail stand is recommended.

I had the same setup. Put it up on a 6 foot lifetime folding table from
Costco. Worked great...I sill have the table. Also used the table when I
did the gear fairings. Used blocks under the nose gear to level.

I'm at the point of engine installation but have not yet riveted the upper forward
fuselage. I had hoped to leave this until after I get avionics installed 'on
the bench' instead of spending a lot of time on my back in the cockpit. The
question is whether the engine installation can be completed with the upper forward
fuselage off, or just clecoed in place.

To the age old question of lubricating valve cover gaskets. I intentional
left one au natural and the others got a combination of engine oil and DC4.
The Au Natural developed in immediate leak. Lesson learned, lube with DC4
as recommended and DO NOT overtorque the gasket thinking you know better
than the specs.
Check those gaskets!

Or better option, design your panel to come out of the plane as an assembly.
At some point or another panel work will come your way, either a fix or the amazingly
frequent modifications that you will want to do. For the annual my first
step is to remove the panel for better access. Start to finish this only takes
10 minutes or so.
WRT engine mount I'm not sure if the upper forward fuselage makes a difference
or not. I had the fuselage 100% done before engine mount - including interior
paint.

190 hours and already on the second panel design.

Lots of people, me included, leave the upper fwd fuse removeable and proceed
to hang the engine. It makes some of the rivets a bit interesting to buck
around where the motor mount attaches to the firewall. I'm now wiring up my
panel on the bench and my motor is secured to the plane.

I riveted the upper fuselage assembly well after the engine was mounted and the
cabin cover was attached. It comes off pretty easily even with the cabin cover
bolted in place. I had it cleco'd in place to do the cowl.
It makes life much easier!

I did all the wiring and engine installation before riveting on the fwd
upper fuse, bolting down the cabin top, and riveting the aft upper panel.
I'm now working on the windows and windshield.
My panel is designed to be removable and the engine controls panel is
mounted to a fiberglass 'console' that's bolted to the tunnel. I did not
attach the engine control cables to the subpanel bracket .... in fact, I
removed the bracket. Seems like I can't resist doing things contrary to
the plans. :-P
