Fitting The Undercarriage To The Aircraft - Pipistrel Sinus Build Manual

Fitting the undercarriage to the aircraft

For aircraft equipped with a nose wheel, the undercarriage is attached to the fuselage with bolts
and special washers.
These washers require a recessed hole to be drilled in the cockpit floor. Use an

appropriate drill bit.
It is important that the washer is seated properly; if you make the hole too big, it will

allow the undercarriage to move around excessively and if you make the recess too small,
the bolt and washer wont be seated properly. If by chance the holes are drilled too big,
be sure to fill them in with epoxy.
Note: for aircraft without a nose wheel there is no recess. There are just normal bolts

mounted with locknuts and a plate to hold the undercarriage in place.
