Re: Landing gear bolt broke

I had to tap them in (they were snug), but otherwise done as the original specifications. I did take more than a little care getting the 0.7 degrees of toe in correct. I land on both grass and pavement, and anyone who has seen my landings would laugh hard if someone accused me of good landings. It may be worth mentioning that my gear legs are slightly longer than the specified length, less than an inch, IIRC. I doubt that would make any real difference. The mystery remains...
