I wouldn't get too concerned on drilling the holes as: A. you'll probably never going to swap them side to side and B. If you do and the holes don't match (they'd probably have to be cnc drilled to do so anyway when swapping side to side/ front to back) just plug the old holes and move the brackets inboard or outboard an inch or so. Try not to over complicate the building process or it will never fly. :-) Larry Flesner --------------------------------------------------- The guy that started the project that eventually became my KR had drilled the spars to mount the gear as a nose-dragger. I left the nose-gear with him and turned the gear around to make it a tail-dragger when I bought the project. Sure glad I was ignorant about needing a CNC or moving the gear location to swap it. He drilled the holes true, and all I had to do was swap sides and turn the gear around. I really don't think of it as being over complicated to drill the holes true on the same pattern side to side. For that matter, I don't understand why one wouldn't at least attempt to do so. -Jeff Scott
