> beams. See attached photo, my table is 4 X 16 with bolts in each leg to

> with the tires attached. The problem with making it this high is that it
> makes it hard to do all the other work that will be needed on your bottom
> half of the fuselage. I made mine so that the bend of my waist will just
> clear the side of the lower fuselage. I will raise it as needed later. By
> the way my gear portion of my install is complete. (XLRG) I installed
> weights on each gear leg to simulate the wheel weight when I adjusted my
> gear sequence. I will do the final adjustment when I am ready to install
