A friend came over last night to check out a couple of things on the 10. He peered in between the spar parts and commented that there were a couple of bolts missing. Upon closer inspection, I discovered that I had missed installing two of the bottom bolts into the landing gear bracket. They were AN-15 bolts, and when I tried to install the bolts into the holes, they wouldn't go. The back bolts were interfering with them. In order to remove the one back bolt, I had to bend the flange on the floorboards back to access the nut. Both existing bolts and the two new bolts wrere bears to install and get nuts on. Had to get my 4 year old grandson to help me with one. He turned the bolt while I held the nut on with a wrench with tape on it to hold the nut.
