Hi John,
Here at Flight Crafters we have installed quite a number of tri gear legs
with all of them before the tops are bonded on. We do not put the tops on
until everthing and I mean everything including a flange for the baggage
bulkhead plus all antennas and counter balance flanges. We do not crawl
into the back of this thing. For some of us would need a crane to pull us
out if we get in there. The front side of the baggage bulkhead can be
reached for taping.
