    More landing gear fittings and installation tooling. I have been missing for a bit. I have been busy with school and the big annual vintage motocross event that I help put on once a year.

    I like that gear fitting jig. No doubt about alignment of the gear.

    Great landing gear jig. How much difference in the spans between the front and rear gear attachments did you allow?
