2nd Axle and Wheel Installation

As we indicated in our previous blog posting, we fixed the brake shoe rubbing the tire.  Originally, we had removed three spacers behind the brake disc.  This gave us the space we needed so that the brake disc didn't rub the Grove landing gear.  But this had the negative result of causing the tire to rub on the brake shoe.  After consulting the factory, and a little experimentation, we added two washers in the original spacer location.  This gave us sufficient space on the brake shoe and brake disc.
Hours: 1.5
