Fuselage builders,
I thought that I'd pass this along since I have never seen it in print0 before, and it was not in the manual, at least when I built my airplane.
In the plans it says to install the main landing gear brackets, and two0 pages later to install the fuel lines. What we are talking about0here0 are the two lines that come from the tank fittings through the0 fuselage sides to the selector valve.
The bottom line is that if you install the fuel line at the same0 time you install the landing gear bracket, you can do it a lot easier and0 better.
Bend the joggle in the line on your workbench. Slide the line through0 the bracket and the removed F-782B cover support rib. Then slide0the0 line through the hole in the fuselage and slide the gear bracket into0 position. It is a little bit of a struggle, but much easier to do than if0 the gear bracket is bolted in.
