Fuselage Continued
72.
Open the four holes on the bottom of the fuselage, two at the front of the landing pocket,
and two just forward of the radio compartment.
73.
Assemble the outer landing gear struts from ply parts LG2a and LG2b. Bond with medium
CA. Note that LG2a is the front strut when installed.
74.
Assemble the central struts from ply parts LG3a and LG3b. Bond with medium CA.
75.
Fit the outer strut assemblies to the holes in the fuselage, resting the front strut LG2a
against the landing gear wire. Tack glue the struts to the fuselage only.
Do not
bond the
struts to the landing gear wire. The wire must remain free to flex and absorb the shock of
landing.
76.
Fit the central struts LG3 to the recesses in LG1 in the landing gear pocket, and to the
notches at the ends of the outer struts LG2. View the assembly from the front of the model
and ensure that it is symmetrical left to right. Final bond the struts together and to the
fuselage with medium CA.
77.
Open the two hole at the rear of the fuselage bottom.
78.
Fit the nylon tail skid into the holes in the fuselage. Ensure that the skid is perpendicular to
the bottom of the fuselage, then wick thin CA around the points where the skid enters the
fuselage.
