[rebel-builders] gun drilled gear legs

[Keith Leitch]

Where did you guys get this done? I have the spring gear and it sounds like a good idea. May even shave a few ounces off.

I have them on my Elite (under construction) and would do it again. You just
need to carefully plan where the brake lines exit the fuselage to the top of the
leg. I used braided lines with bulkhead fittings through the floor and it took
some planning to have enough clearance to thread the AN fittings into the legs.
Sure looks neater, and less to snag without lines down the legs.

Keith, I mostly did it for esthetics with a reduced chance of snagging brake
lines on obstructions. Unfortunately, the drilling has to be done prior to
bending the legs.
