I don't think it applies to your taildragger. (If you look at drawing 34A, you'll see the template but again, it's for nosewheel planes) Matthew Brandes, Van's RV-9A (Fuselage) EAA Chapter 868/91/1329 www.n523rv.com ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 09:50:12 AM PST US From: DThomas773@AOL.COM Subject: Re: RV9-List: Template for landing gear sockets --> RV9-List message posted by: DThomas773@aol.com Hi Roger, The landing gear on your tail dragger mount in the engine mount. They require you to trim out a slight amount on the lower firewall flange a small cut out in the lower engine cowl. When you get to that point it will be quite obvious where and how much to cut. In the lower engine cowl I would suggest you cut out just enough for clearance at first. After you have installed gear leg fairings and made your intersection fairings you can enlarge the cut outs in the cowl a bit more (closer to the edge of intersection fairing) which will make removing engine a great deal easier. Good Luck.
