I first made the hardpoint attachments that would sit on the side walls of the undercarriage, supported by the long plywood attachments that would run most of the length of the sidewalls.
I used the old hardpoint to set the spacing.
It fit perfectly. I replaced the silver screws with cap bolts after epoxying it all together.
Everything set with 30 min epoxy and clamped in place.
I devised a way to use self-setting nuts and attache the gear directly to the metal hardpoints, removing the wood hard point altogether. I spent the rest of the day repairing the framing of the fuse.
Working on repairing some cracks in the temporary nose cone and repainting it. I am also painting the plate that the fuel vent is attached to. I will install it and close the cote.
Once everything is back to repaired, I will troubleshoot the engine and start all over.
