I am wondering if anyone on the list has used "squish plates" when aligning? These are two, one- sq. ft. aluminum plates (1/4 " thick) with a greased piece of dense plastic between. This supposedly allows the aircraft gear to settle and align properly. Thoughts and comments appreciated. Bill Hogarty billhogarty@hughes.com
