Just came across this, I braced my struts before attaching to the plane. Three of the struts fit perfectly but the fourth was out of allignment. Was a real twitch to get it in. So probably better to wire brace after attachment though it will be a lot harder then. Looking good so far
Wait til you try to fit the seat and get it straight in the mount. Good work and luck
