this is what happens when you take the day off.

Took the day off here to get stuff done, here is what I accomplished re sleeved my new cylinder because I wanted to keep the original piston and sleeve together,  then welded my brake brackets to my landing gear. then made my support plates with the hopes that my fuselage doesn't get all bent up with this gear. and installed my landing gear. Damn time to have a beer.

With that style gear, you should gusset across the bungee truss as well...

 

She looks real good so far!

What brakes are you using?  I have not seen that style on a KF before. 

 

The gear looks like it does not have a straight pull on the cabane vee so your a step ahead of the game.  Like Larry said, I would darn sure reinforce that seat truss though, that is what is going to help keep those sides from buckling in.

 

Nice progress, keep at it!

Airheart brakes, I have no idea if there any good or not but I have them so I'll use them, it looks like they use them alot on those mini dragsters.
