Gear Legs - 3 Hours (100 Total)

It looks like the problem I was having drilling the 1/4 inch holes was caused by me pre-drilling the holes with smaller drill bits. By pre-drilling with a bit only slightly smaller bit, the 1/4 inch bit didn't have enough material to bite into. I had no problem using a fresh bit when I used a 1/8" pilot hole.

I assembled the main gear legs and axle sockets. I also installed the nose gear fork and horn. I also installed the right brake assembly.
Clear Coat - 0 Hours (Total 97)

Here are some pictures of the clear coat being applied to the wings and tail surfaces.
