3.4.2. Nose Gear Door

First, the lower end of the nose gear door is to be ground/sanded to a semi-circular shape.
Next, the hinges are glued at right angles to the "top" of the door. When cured, the door with
the hinges can be glued into the engine cowl. Use 30 minute Epoxy and scuff/clean the
areas to be glued.
When the gear is extended, the door hangs free – it is not attached to the gear leg. With the
gear retracted, the airflow closes the door where it is held in place with magnets.
