The Landing Gear Unit with Rotating Strut
lowest
Trial fit the landing gear unit now. You will
see that you will have to mill a notch in the
cooler intake area on the front inside corner,
so that the mounting tab of the landing gear
can be inserted. Having the gear unit in
notch
place, you will have to mark and cut the inner
permanent cover in this area, too.
The front outer corner of the gear unit is
surely going to touch the top skin of the
wing. It's very tight there, and you can mill
out the 2mm sandwich foam to gain another
2mm space. You can also grind the gear unit
a little bit to round corners, which will give
you another one or two mm. Cycle the gear
by hand to see if strut and wheel do not bind
or hit anywhere. If the mounting rails are not
100% parallel, please use very thin plywood
(included in the hardware bag) to slightly
pack the mounting areas.
