Mounting of main gear 

 

The landing gear compartment frames are already laminated. The centre of the 
retract plate is located as shown in the picture below. 
 

 

 
The cut-outs need to be 46 mm x 36 mm and be made on the bottom of each 
wing half. 
 

 

 
Please ensure the cut-outs do not exceed the size given above to avoid 
damaging the retract plate frames. Trial fit the retract plates into the retract frames 
already glued in the wing. Use Hysol epoxy or similar to glue the mounting plates 
into position. 
 
Make sure the retracts are 90 degrees to the fuselage, to ensure a proper working 
retract later on.
