Taking it outside.]]> Jeroen Glazener photo Mon, 15 Feb 2010 22:25:19 +0000 http://europaowners.org/gallery2/v/Glazener/album319/IMG_1466.JPG.html http://europaowners.org/gallery2/v/Glazener/album319/IMG_1466.JPG.html
The cradle has served its purpose. Here we lift up the plane to take it out.]]> Jeroen Glazener photo Mon, 15 Feb 2010 22:25:42 +0000 http://europaowners.org/gallery2/v/Glazener/album319/IMG_1470.JPG.html http://europaowners.org/gallery2/v/Glazener/album319/IMG_1470.JPG.html
The only way to get the bolts out again is to stretch the springs beyond that point. With a sandbag, a bag of fertiliser and some rocks in the cockpit I still need these two sitting on the footwells to pull it down far enough. The bolts rattle out. IT STANDS!]]> Jeroen Glazener photo Tue, 16 Feb 2010 14:26:33 +0000 http://europaowners.org/gallery2/v/Glazener/album319/IMG_1465.JPG.html http://europaowners.org/gallery2/v/Glazener/album319/IMG_1465.JPG.html
With this the springs can be put on the frame. The 6mm bolts as in the manual prove too small so first I have to redo them with 8mm ones (7mm doesn't exist, of course).]]> Jeroen Glazener photo Mon, 15 Feb 2010 22:26:19 +0000 http://europaowners.org/gallery2/v/Glazener/album319/IMG_1463.JPG.html http://europaowners.org/gallery2/v/Glazener/album319/IMG_1463.JPG.html
The Nose LG leg requires springs as a back up to the suspension by the leg itself. These need to be tensioned. As this requires a lot of force I go to the neighbourhood Volvo dealer for industrial strength equipment.]]> Jeroen Glazener photo Mon, 15 Feb 2010 22:16:24 +0000 http://europaowners.org/gallery2/v/Glazener/album319/IMG_1461.JPG.html http://europaowners.org/gallery2/v/Glazener/album319/IMG_1461.JPG.html
Inserting 6mm bolts in the spring to keep it open]]> Jeroen Glazener photo Mon, 15 Feb 2010 22:07:49 +0000 http://europaowners.org/gallery2/v/Glazener/album319/IMG_1348.JPG.html http://europaowners.org/gallery2/v/Glazener/album319/IMG_1348.JPG.html
Not a very common view here, but beautiful anyway]]> Jeroen Glazener photo Tue, 09 Feb 2010 21:38:57 +0000 http://europaowners.org/gallery2/v/Glazener/album319/06022010409.jpg.html http://europaowners.org/gallery2/v/Glazener/album319/06022010409.jpg.html

All wheels now on. At least I can now come into the garage and kick the tires (old aviation tradition)!]]> Jeroen Glazener photo Tue, 09 Feb 2010 20:52:49 +0000 http://europaowners.org/gallery2/v/Glazener/album319/IMG_1457.JPG.html http://europaowners.org/gallery2/v/Glazener/album319/IMG_1457.JPG.html
