REFLECTOR: Gear Leg Mold cut line

[Andrew Ellzey]

Jack,
 
My gear legs still had the mold lines. I used these as a reference but I cut mime using a water level with the gear installed and the aircraft level. I wanted to make sure that my aircraft would sit level on the ramp in case I my gear pockets or the gear legs weren't true.

Thanks.  I didn't remember seeing anything on the legs, but I just assumed I
missed it.
