Steve, as of last summer, you hadn't even completed all of those layups or installed the MG plates in anticipation of using retracts, I know becuase I responded to the post you made inquiring about them, so please, none of this 5 year crap!! I haven't used any SHI* on my plane yet, haven't seen it in the plans, but when I do, I'll call you for assistance.
Not after you install all the required plys and close out the top there isn't! They will only "flex" if your gear leg doesn't have a machine fit and you try to compress the bulkheads onto the strut when you tighten the 1/2" studs, which is bad...... but at year 5, you should already know that!
And that's twice in less than 12 hours you've made me agree with TMann............Waitress!!
