I have looked at blueprint K and can see that a section of honeycomb
is removed in addition to the area for the inner gear door hinge where the hydraulic bulkhead fittings go.
The print refers to the inner (assuming the cockpit side) of the
closeout rib has the material removed and then a 3 BID as per print K
and chapter 16 in the manual. I have seen no mention of this except
for reference on the print and in ch 16, however in the chapter about
the stub wing and the close out rib placement,there is mentioned a
discription of the step down 4 BID's (total 12)right over the area
discribed to have the honeycomb removed to place the 3 BID for later
bulkhead placement of three hydraulic lines if you have the inner
gear door hyd upgrade.
This seems to me that even if the honeycomb is removed the hydraulic
fittings would be going through 15 BID minimum not counting the 2 BID
on the gear well side.

So how are you folks dealing with this?

1. is there a better way?

2. do you remove the honeycomb from the gear well side and then 3BID
and drill the 7/16 hole through the inner 12 bid layup aft of the
main spar.

pictures would be a great help.

I have outback gear, and receintly purchase the 360SFB MKII that is partially complete with stub wing mounted and the close out rib installed.

Thanks for your help
