| Subject: | Landing gear weldment fitting |
I=92ve been struggling fitting the landing gear weldment on my RV7A. It
happens that the forward leg needs to be bent in order to have the
weldment
flange lay flush on the spar. The instructions warn that this may be
necessary. I have to bring the leg in by about =BC=94.
Any suggestions on how to bend the weldment legs? I just don=92t have a
big
enough hammer.
Cheers,
Rafael
RV7A struggling with the gear.

One of mine fit very badly. I called Vans and finally got them to
send a replacement weldment. There was no way the first one was going
to fit without cutting and re-welding. It took a few calls to finally
get them to agree to do the swap. ymmv.
