I have to agree with Mike on the laser being more trouble than it is

worth. I am redrilling my wheelpants after remounting the right one and finding the left one lining up on the leading edge of the opposite wheelpant right under the canard when eyeballed (and lasered) through the axle. I turned down a couple of aluminum bushings to fit finger tight in the axle and found some phenolic tubing with 3/8" outside and 1/8"inside dia. that fits inside the aluminum bushings. This assembly dials out at less than .001 on the lathe, yet when installed I can move the beam at least five inches in all directions at the opposite wheelpant. Inserting a brass tube with a 1/16" bore gets it down to about three inches which is still unacceptable. I'm going to sight it first and then use a string for final checking.

After 15 years the canard creeped enough to be about 3 degrees camber - see http://www.geocities.com/CapeCanaveral/Hall/1653/r2.html could still fly and land but it was touchier. holes.
