MAIN LANDING GEAR
Cut out the objects
in
MAIN GEAR
(or
“MG”
) section
objects.
For each
Main Gear
,
curve the
(A)
section.
Then, make inverse
folds along
(D)
lines.
The section should
then resemble a
concertina or
accordion fold.
Fold the smaller
highlighted
component of the
Main Gear
piece. Fold
along the
(C)
lines.
Fold and assemble
larger highlighted
component of the
Main Gear
piece. Fold
along the
(E)
lines to
create what will
become a ’box’
-like
structure.
Fold along the
(F)
lines such that the
two large sides will sit
roughly back-to-back.
Apply glue to the face
of the highlighted
(G)
area. Swing the
(J)
section inside the
‘box’ structure of
section
(K)
.
Tuck the two middle
(L)
strands within the
‘box’ of section
(K)
.
Close the ‘box’ of
section
(K)
by
adhering section
(H)
on top of area
(G)
.
Once completed, set
the objects aside until
they are needed at a
later stage.
Curve section
(A)
so the two
(B)
strands are
parallel, back-to-back.
