I looked in the LML Attachments the other day and found "LNC2 GM4
reinforcement / Factory fax to Dan Olsen." I've been hoping someone
would ask these questions, but since no one has, I'll ask. Can anyone
tell us the background to this reinforcement. Looks pretty significant
to me. What brought it about? How did Dan happen to find out about it?
Would anyone else have learned about it except for the way we did? Dan,
can you answer any of these questions?

[Charles... there was a discussion here quite some time ago regarding
failures of that component when the gear was subjected to excessive side
loads.  I think it was one of the builders in The Netherlands who
came up with the suggestion.  As a result I incorporated a similar
reinforcement into my gear wells during the gear installation process,
although I confess mine is much less substantial than that recommended by
the factory fax, (and can be seen on the LML homepage as well).  If you
search the archives for GM4 you'll find many references to this area and 
will undoubtedly locate the original posting that brought about this
modification.
