glued
in
place
on
the
inside
of
each
fuselage
side.
There
are
two
per
side.
I
inserted
a
section
of
9/32
ʺ
brass
tube
into
each
hole
as
a
guide
and
then
slid
the
reinforcement
ring
in
place
and
glued
it.
The
firewall
consists
of
two
pieces
of
1/8
ʺ
lite
ply
that
are
glued
together.
This
was
done
using
medium
CA
with
carry
taken
to
insure
that
the
two
parts
are
lined
up
correctly
with
each
other.

LANDING
GEAR
MOUNTS
The
landing
gear
on
the
EIII
is
an
interesting
puzzle
of
parts.
I
would
recommend
studying
the
plans
carefully
as
it
takes
a
bit
of
pondering
to
get
the
whole
thing
figured
out.
It
consists
on
a
main
gear
of
1/8
ʺ
music
wire
and
a
number
of
supporting
pieces
of
3/32
ʺ
music
wire.
Time
to
bug
my
buddy
Ron
who
has
the
big
K&S
wire
bender
to
get
ready
for
some
bending.
The
3/32
ʺ
wire
parts
plug
into
1/8
ʺ
OD
brass
tubes
that
are
epoxied
in
place
in
two
LG
mounts
on
the
bottom
of
the
fuselage.
These
are
made
up
of
several
pieces
of
1/8
ʺ
lite
ply
and
a
section
of
1/8
ʺ
OD
bras
tube.
The
rear
mount
consists
of
three
pieces
of
lite
ply
and
the
brass
tube.
The
two
smaller
pieces
are
glued
to
the
larger
one
separated
by
1/8
ʺ
(use
a
piece
of
1/8
ʺ
music
wire
or
brass
tube
as
a
spacer
to
get
the
pieces
located
properly).
