Main Gear Update!
After extensive test flights and successive move of the CG further back we have found that the
BOLT! gets pretty light on the nose gear. In order to get a little more load on the nose gear, it is
recommended to have the trialing link struts "trail" a little more than originally intended. The great
feature of the ELECTRON gear is that the trailing of the strut can be set with a set screws in the
upper strut part. Use a 2mm allen key and turn the grab screw, which is already inside the
threaded hole in the upper strut, so that the wheel moves backwards as much as possible to still
fit in the wheel well when retracted. Therefore you will need to grind a small edge of the cover as
shown on the photo, and if you want to go as much as possible, can also grind away a little of the
recess under the gear door seat.
We have decided to pre-manufacture the small strut door holder. The M4 bolt needs to be glued
with Loctite into the same threaded hole the grab screw is underneath, once all is moving
smoothly.
