Section 8: Main Landing Gear and Wheel Fairings
Step 7
Check the fit of the wheel in the wheel well when the
gear is retracted. Make any necessary adjustments so
the wheel does not rub the wheel well when the gear
is retracted or extended.
Step 8
Locate the correct landing gear door tape it into position.
The correct door will fit the contour of the airfoil and have
a small protrusion towards the leading edge of the wing.
Step 9
Draw two small marks on the landing gear door that will
indicate the location of the landing gear strut. Mark the
landing gear where the lower edge of the landing gear
door will be positioned.
Step 10
Remove the landing gear door and draw a line connecting
the two marks on the back of the door.
