It was easier than expected. Took about 40 minutes to turn the gear around to place the flat side forward. My wings are off with the upgrade. I placed a padded 2x8 across the fuselage beneath the rear spar attach plates and two jacks held it up as you would use a wheelbarrow. The aircraft is really not very heavy at this point and in this condition. It requires apporximately a 6 inch lift to remove the gear. As Jonathan mentioned, use a square to mark the location of the new notches on the opposite side of the gear so the new notches are directly across from the old notches.

Seems the environmentalists convinced the controlling group that the propane powered Zamboni was not environmentally friendly and to use a prototype electric ice machine. It was a total disaster. They finally had to bring in a real (proven) Zamboni from Calgary. Reminded me immediately of WW's cautions about unproven machinery.

The gear has always been very stiff; particularly noticeable on a grass runway. The kit came with 1080HD shock cords, which is what I installed. Has anyone tried the standard 1080, rather than the 1080HD? If so, how did it work out? Any other options? No, I'm not going to change to the spring landing gear. Wish I had it, too much work to change. Thanks Folks, Jim Weston CH601HDS, with Stratus Subaru ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 08:11:37 PM PST US Subject: Zenith-List: Fuel flow transducer From: "MHerder" Using a Grand Rapids EIS, with the red cube fuel transducer. The instructions recommend installing it after the pump, but Im planning on installing the pump on my firewall... Why cant I install my transducer in the cockpit between the gascolator and the firewall penetration? Space on my firewall is running low and as much as I don't like adding fittings in the cockpit, I don't like the transducer anywhere near the muffler since it will be difficult to firesleeve.
