THE PLANE IS ON WHEELS. We were able to get the plane on wheels today. I spent some time hand packing the bearings with Mobil 28. The main wheels were installed. I loosely placed the front wheel as I need to still balance the front wheel. Then with the help of N and T we got the plane on wheels.
I then started on the the brake lines. Flare attachments were added to the metal tubing and the lines were attached to the fluid fittings on the gear leg brackets. The tubing was then ran behind the legs and attached to the brakes. I installed the brake cylinder and placed the brake lines under the panel in the clamp. I will wait until later in the build to bleed the brake lines.
I had a few minutes so I started on the flight controls. I separated and installed the bearings on the flaperon mixer. I then installed the rod on the flap handle.
Time: 5.5 hrs
