The Grove gear attaches to the forward spar, not the fusalage. You put two holes in the bottom plywood inside the fusalage just under the brackets. I guess that is giving the illusion to the gear being mounted to the fusalage. I welded up custom brackets for mine and CNC milled radius blocks to go under the brackets. I'll take some pictures if someone will post them somewhere for me. I don't have the time to edit my site and add them there (I also am a real klutz with Front Page and have to relearn it every time I need to edit one of my web pages and I usually break something and spend hours trying to fix it again.).

I'm concerned about the stress oto the fuselage where it attaches.
