Fitted and adjusted landing gear brackets

Fitted the landing gear attach brackets (for Grove landing gear). Both brackets (left and right side) were close, but did not quite fit initially into the welded steel attach points on the fuselage.  To fix this, we milled off a slight amount of the aluminum gear brackets until they fit into the slots in the fuselage.  Removed about 0.05" from two inside edges of the right landing gear bracket, and removed 0.025" from the outside edges of the left landing gear bracket. With these minor adjustments, the brackets now fit properly.  EJB, MHC  Hours: 3
