This was a tedious job!

 

After getting the retract mounting block installed it was time start mounting the retracts and modifying the struts.  I had to shorten the gear leg by about a half inch.  Then take out the bushing from the part I cut off, figure out where the mounting hole needed to be and drill it.  Finding the three millimeter tap was next, then I tapped the set screw hole.

I had to do some trimming on the fiberglass cover to get everything working the way I wanted.  Now I just need to do the same to the right wing but it should go faster since I have a pattern to copy.

We have daffodils in four different locations around the place and they are all blooming so we have a little color to look at.  I did some cleanup on the limbs that got broken off this winter.  Some of them would have made nice fire wood if we still used wood heat.  Pellets are sure a lot less work.  I have a cart with a hydraulic lift that I store them on and just wheel it up to the stove, pump it up to the right level so I can just dump the pellets in the hopper without lifting the bag.
