| Unattached part there has a new rod end. | Rod end with a regular grease fitting (G in the part number) on the left, with a flush (FG in the part number) on the right. | In tight spots, gotta have the flush. "X" in the part number means rod end hole and thread are different sizes. Know more now about rod end parts than I ever wanted to. | Bob's usual position, with MiFi for wireless access. Was _really_ nice to have company all the time. | Still up on jacks, nose gear is mostly re-attached now. | ||

| JoeB stopped by to help Bill and I take her off the jacks. | Wow finally off jacks, after 6 weeks up in the air. | Bill inspects main gear, adjusting the air in the strut. | This is too inflated a strut. Bottom of the gear door should be lower down, at the middle of the axle. | Off the jacks and ready to go. Notice gear door bottom is in the correct position now - struts are properly inflated. Tires are a little low but that's easy to fix. | ||
