Gear legs clamped in place, no toe in/out per Bud. You cant see it in the photo but I used a green tip .30 bullet as a homemade plum bob that was attached to dead center of the aluminum angle. This helped us keep the guide over the center line. Oh make

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

Mix it up Kim! FYI I hate this scale from aircraft spruce, it times out in one min if your plugged in or not. I would have to tap the scale while Kim mixed. We were using masks due to being in an enclosed area and I'm very allergic to the hardener (bumm

The monowheel landing gear is in the up position and resting on the main wheel with some of the weight held by the block and tackle. This was taken just before putting on the braces to keep her from rolling. Been trying to get rid of that tv in the back

Here the axles are getting the green goop. I used car carnauba wax as a release agent. Worked well jut get it on there thick. We also wrapped the top of the sockets with glad wrap to keep contaminates off of it while we moved it around.
