Moose: side-to-side gear box reinforcement
Posted: Sun Feb 19, 2012 4:31 pm
Posted 3 pics (area S/M-115 Landing Gear) of the two brackets I installed
that bolt to FUS-331 (landing gear bracket) on each side as well as the 1"
square tube that connects these additional brackets. Whole assembly
provides additional side-to-side reinforcement. Helps (one would hope) to
prevent the gear from shearing off the top of FUS-331 and coming up through
the floor as happened to someone last fall under a heavy side load.
Brackets & square stock are out of 4130 0.125" stock. Brackets bolt through
top of FUS-331 and also have two bolts each through the existing pilot holes
on FUS-331.
