Hi Everyone,
I have managed at long last to get the u/c brackets out.
It appeared that the guys in the Phillipines didn't chamfer the bottom edge of of the flange on the F-1004D's. If they had done so a) they wouldn't have left a non deburred edge there and b) the u/c brackets would probably have come out with ease. This has held me up by over 6 months.
The front floors came out relatively easily. I too found that the area under the floor did would not appear to have been primed, strange since the areas under the rear floors did appear to be primed.
I'm going to sound proof the area under the front floors with Orkotec blanket which is exceptionally light.
Many thanks to all who offered advice on how I could get the u/c brackets free; it was much appreciated,
Rodger

Hullo Everyone,
Is there anyone out there who has successfully managed to
remove the main under carriage brackets from their QB
fuselage?
There was a link some time ago where the question was asked
how people had managed to remove the bolts and after many
hours I have succeded in that. Apparently most were
defeated and gave up any idea of inspecting under those
floors, installing insulation/wiring/whatever there. My QB
came with the front cabin floors temporarily in place. To
be able to remove them you need to remove the u/c brackets.
Now the bolts are out, I find that I am unable to get the
u/c brackets out because you need to pull them forwards
whilst at the same time dropping the front attachment bar of
the u/c bracket below the level of the front floor which is
clearly impossible. Hence the question, has anyone managed
to solve the puzzle short of destroying the front floors -
Tim's log stated that his floors were not supplied with
his kit and he did not have this problem.
I'm dreading the reconstruction ............!
Many thanks,
Rodger 40437

Not to deflate you QB guys so ready to blame the Philippine $2.00 an hour A & P's, but there is a real puzzle that you get REAL used to when removing those Main Gear Brackets if you built your own fuselage...deburred edge or not, it's a lift, rotate, twist, turn, rotate, lift, pull amd nudge sequence that will yield a positive result...I wish I could remember the exact sequence...but if you built your fuselage from the standard kit...it would make more sense...not that I'm bitter, casting stones or anything...I just know my fuselage better! ;b
Did you find any rogue clecos under those seat pans?.. P.I. FOD...has taken out an F-4 or two at Clark I'd wager (rest that wonderful places soul) Alas, nothin a trip to the Fire Empire or Nepa Hut coudn't cure!

Sound like you have a lot of experience in the entertainment places next to
Clark AB. I too have the same with my carrier as a C-5 Flight engineer. It
was our second home in the pacific for many years. I flew the Last c-5 from
Clark when the Mt Pinatubo blew its stack. Was an amazing sight to see from
the air.

My home away from home while enjoying the korean countryside, at least one of my tours was at Osan. Had fun at three Team Stupids er Spirts...We lost two weapons loaders during the last one in 88. They were assinated as they sat in a Jeepney by what we now know as "Terrorists" but then they were called "Rebels"...Shortly there after the volcano took care of the best R & R destination in the Pacific..Little trivia, the only US Air Base with motorcycle cops...

Yup you are so right.
It is a shame that the rebels were as bad as they were. There have been
several crew members that lost there life there too. Got to drunk and ended
up in the wrong place at the wrong time.
We have to remember to keep there families in out prayers.
We a very fun place to RON and shop.
