<> FG drivers,
<> 
<>  
<> 
<> The manual says to cut a 2" hole
behind the canard
<> bulkhead for the nose strut. However,
the top of my nose
<> strut is a little over 4" wide due to
the cross-tube! 
<> Also, with the large gusset welded
below the cross-tube
<> this becomes too large to fit inside
2". So, the strut
<> would have to be inserted from the
top!  For
<> maintenance/inspection reasons, the
strut should be
<> inserted/removed from the bottom. So,
I was planning to
<> cut more of an oval just big enough
(~3") to allow
<> inserting the strut from the bottom.
Has anyone else
<> noticed this discrepancy?  What did
you do? THANKS!
