I will see what I can do on pictures. But if you take off the engine cone and look at the front former, you can see where the two interlocking tabs of the gear mounting plate go through the former. In my opinion thoes are the problem. Once the former/bulkhead starts to flex under stress, the glue seam on the other side breaks, and the tabs slip out. They just do a glue fillit on the back side of the former to the gear plate, this is what holds the former to the plate, it might provide a little shear strength. the tabs do all the work on verticle shear. I basickly put carbon fiber in the joint between the former and the plate, on the back side near the gear mounting holes, but dont go over the holes, or you may get resin in the threads, you could fill the thread holes with vasolene, and try to ream the carbon fiber out, but its kind of a tight space to work in. I also put carbon fiber over the whole plate before I put the blind nuts in, to strengthen it up a little. My fix is untested at this time, I am just finishing up on the body work, and cutting out new slots for the gear to get out of the fuse. I hope to fly the plane by the end of this week.
