The landing gear torque leg is quite long. Rather than use a long piece of wood I elected to use brass tube and a short piece of wood. I got the idea from plans by Don Hutchinson and from the ARF Strega landing gear set ups. The tube won't cause any drag on the leadout if it should make contact. I positioned the bellcrank according to the plans and found a piece of wire .105 dia. Metric probably but plenty strong. I drilled a threaded connector to fit and soldered it to the outside end for the clevis. I used wheel collars and fuel tube to keep the bell crank in place.
After that I installed the bottom leading edge and center sheeting. Cap strips next and wing tips.
