Service Bulletin 12-11-09 (Main Landing Gear Upgrade)
Vans sent out a service bulletin requesting that everyone upgrade there landing gear. They sent all of the people flying their RV-12 a kit free of charge. It is a pretty involved upgrade. I started it over the weekend
I had to take the wings off and put the fuselage on a pair of saw horses.
Then I had to drain the brakes and remove the landing gear
The first part of the fix required me to drill out a bunch of rivets so that I could add a doubling plate. I drilled out the rivets and matched up the plate. Then I matched drilled the extra holes required. This is as far as I have finished so far.
