I am trying to follow a punch list to wrap up the things that need to be done. On that list was to tighten the axle nuts and put in the cotter keys. Wait a minute, no holes!
Am I supposed to drill these holes? I don't know I can be that accurate with a hand drill 'cause the landing gear AIN'T comin' off this plane.
Without the cotter pin the nut WILL come off and there is no place to safety wire the bolt that holds the wheel pant on.
I guess I can tighten the nut up really tight, drill one side of the axle and then the other.
Has anyone else encountered this problem? If so, how did you resolve it?
Thanks,
