I actually had to replace my crossbar and 4 gussets on my new to me CHII. Yes, those were overkill like you said hahaha!! But they're there. Nice job man, been enjoying the challenger vids. Hello from TN.
Don't try to strengthen the nose gear support structure too much, or it will just transfer any landing overloads through the cheap-to-replace support bracketry into the expensive-to-fix longerons! You really want the brackets to fail first! (BTDT!)
No Comments.. when stroking the shaft....LOLZ. So glad I found this channel.

Looking forward to your vids -- very involved refurbishment -- was looking to pick one of these up in the future to convert to electric.

It all is very familiar, been there many times resurrecting vintage Kasperwings. Good work, you have the skills, enjoyed the ride.
Nice brother. The dogs where funny!!

Interesting point. Hadn't considered the landing gear attachment being a structural fuse. :-)
any updates on the challenger???
Just a question but from the steel bracket for the landing gear can you replace the aluminium tube forward ? thanks
