REFLECTOR: RG MG aluminum bushings

   Glad the explanation helped. A little lighter on the top is  not a 
problem. The plane is so over engineered for strength it's ridiculous.  Although it 
is better and stronger if you let the layup lay flat until it  gets really 
tacky  1-4 hours? depending on temperature, before applying it.  Some fresh resin 
and peelply overtop will just make it look beautiful and  professional.

Yep.....it helps a lot Ken.  Thanks.  If I do as you say it  looks as if the 
lay-up will butt up right next to the 5X5 for the  Continental mounts.  Also 
thanks for the tip on the resin drain.  I  see a couple of my multiple triax 
lay-ups are a little lighter on top than on  the bottom.  Should I be concerned?
 
Thanks
 
Brooke

    If you cut a little bit off the corner of the  Triax layup, you will be 
able to get the layup just above the wiring  duct hole and Not onto the cowl 
flange. It puts the gear bolt hole  approximately 2 inches inboard and 2 above 
the bottom edge of the layup.  Most of this Triax is just laid onto the 
firewall. The engine mounts from  Velocity mount on this layup later. If that helps 
at all?  Remember to  wet out the Triax and wait a hour or 2 before installing 
otherwise the  resin drains out while it is curing.

Maybe someone near the same stage of  construction as I on a XLRG can help.
 
The manual says to put a double layer of 4X7  trial over the aft firewall 
bushing with the 7" in dimension  horizontal.  Well.......I can't see how this 
can be done.   The tunnel opening as well as the cowl flange interfere with this 
 arrangement.  
 
Go out and look at your airplanes!!   (any insight would be 
appreciated)......Thanks     Brooke
