I went to a fly-in today and saw a beautiful model 5 safari. I talked with the owner and noticed his main gear on opposite of mine with brake lines exiting the rear. We figured one of us built incorrectly. We exchanged phone numbers and each checked our manuals when we got home. It appears we were both correct. But he said his instructions for orientation came from Grove.
Does anyone know the reasoning. I'm thinking more 5's came with o-200's and it was for w&b. Funny thing is he has a 912uls and I'm the one with the o-200. But my w&b is perfect.
