12. Attach the landing gear door to the strut using four 2mm x 8mm
self-tapping screws and a #0 Phillips screwdriver.
E-tips
Work slowly when using a sanding drum on the screws. The screws will
heat up while sanding, which could melt the landing gear door.
 13. Use side cutters and a rotary tool with a sanding drum to smooth
the ends of the screws against the inside of the blocks. If this is not done,
the screws could catch on the edges of the retract opening and cause the
gear to not retract correctly.

14. Slide the landing gear door so the top block is resting against the
coil of the landing gear strut. Apply a thin bead of canopy glue along the
front and back of the strut against the landing gear door. Rotate the door a
few times to work the glue behind the strut.

15. Retract the landing gear using the radio system. This will set the
correct angle for the landing gear door against the wing. Allow the glue to
cure overnight before moving the gear back to the down position.
 16.Repeat steps 1 through 15 to install the second landing gear door.
