Installing The Nose Gear Formers - BVM KingCat V2 COMPOSITE Assembly And Operating Manual

Attach the tray mount brackets and
the two sets of tray securing tabs to
the NG Formers

INSTALLING THE NOSE GEAR FORMERS

Place the model in a stand and level the model by the wing tubes.
Place the two plywood doughnuts
on the carbon tubes of the Nose
Cone Former. Do not glue yet.
Install the retract onto the flexplate
and formers. Place the formers into
the model with the tray mounts
securely to the nose former and the
fuse bottom as shown.
Check that the strut is straight
down when extended and swings
straight back into the pocket. The
wheel should be inside the fuse.
When satisfied, tack glue with some
medium CA and then glue using
Vpoxy or Aeropoxy as shown in the
photo.
Note: It is a good idea to bevel the edges of the formers where they meet the fuse to allow
for better glue adhesion Also finger wipe to create a fillet with the glue for a cleaner install..
Glue the two plywood doughnuts to the Carbon Tube and the forward Nose Gear
Former as shown in the picture above.
