Gear & Wiring
Fun evening in the hanger.
Specially nice after a full day of work and home life.
So I learned how to remove the shaft from the retracts.
You do need an allen key.
Used my bench vice to bend the shaft. Did not take much.
Once the alignment was good I put everything back together.
Next job was wing wiring. Spent some time cleaning all of that up. Shorter Y wires and so on helped a lot.
For the gun kit bec I still plan on shorting all the wires but this ok for now. I did zip tie a the loose wires around the bec for now but this is a huge improvement over before.
There was a lot of balance weight in the nose. I've removed a big chunk and slid the battery to the front.
Why not.
And finally some shots of the repaired landing gear.
I maintain buying a used plane is a very stress free experience.
There is no pressure to keep it perfect and the fear of doing something wrong is not really there.
