Started to make the axle jig. Used a simple setup of first taking large flat blocks of wood and caulking it to the floor somewhere over FS70. Then that allows me to fix the aluminum angle with a single screw once in its final position.

We had to put the plane somewhat down near the trailer with the main up so that we could get the right contour for the ribs. Reminds me of a B-17 with the main just showing.

I took cardboard and bent it around the socket and overlapped per the manual. Then took this cardboard and made a new template for cutouts. This made the layups go really quick.

Here you see I used bondo on the shims and screwed them down into the block. The shims made sure the guide was level. Also note the hole drilled in the Aluminum angle and the shim. This is where I fixed the guide for the curing stage to ensure nothing

Dont judge me! You know you do it too. Anyways, was trying to see if my weight would cause the nose to come down. As you can see she likes being a tail dragger.
