I begun today by torquing all the bolts on or near the firewall (brake fluid reservoir, rudder pedals, battery mount...). Then I torqued the six bolts on the engine mount, on one I needeed to add a second washer so that the cotter pin actually prevents the bolt from turning.




I the use my hoist to lift the fuselage. Guillaume gives me a hand to install the gear legs, but it can be done alone.




After thirty minutes, the fuselage can be lowered on the wheels. It looks quute high, I will have to use some steps to climb on board for the time being.




As there is no engine for the time being, the center of gravity is way aft. So I have to keep the sawhorse in the back. I had to add a cardboard box to get the correct height. After the picture, I tied everything down with a rope.




The front gear lecg bolt is inserted from the cabine via a hole drilled earlier in the firewall.




That hole get a small cover that will also get some sealant to avoid fumes from the engine compartment entering the cabin.




And here the left gear leg having been torqued.
