Hi.
I wonder if anyone has used a temporary holding or fastening of the Skybolt landing gear.
I Just finished painting the fabric on these legs and want to install on the fuselage. That way I can wheel the thing around (mobile).

I will probably install the final hinge bolts but I don't know if it is time to get the bungees and rent the installation tool from Steen.
If I have to remove the gear this would be a bear.

What have guys done in the past to fix the gear in the secured position?

Thanks in advance for suggestions.
