Front and Main retract
You will find in your kit a pair of
fiberglass strut covers for the main gear
legs each in 2 halves. These
covers are handed so make sure the
cover set you select is correct for the
gear leg you are working on. If
you decide to paint your undercarriage
please do this before fitting the strut
covers.
Each strut cover half must be fitted and
left to cure before the second half is
added in order to achieve the best result.
You will need to trim the top off each
strut cover so the area where the leg
mounts into the retract unit is kept clear.
To start the joining process apply a liberal
amount of resin with micro balloon only
to the area where it will come into
contact with the main leg to the inside of
the half you are working on. It is not
necessary to put any form of glue or
silicone around the knuckle joint for the
trailing leg or the supporting arm for this
area. Fit the cover to the leg on a flat
surface and prop up where necessary
with spacers to ensure the fit is central.
Offer up the second half to see that it
