Agusta A119 Koala

Measure a point 95 mm from the rear of the original aluminium skid tubes and cut them off at
that point; the remaining curved front ends can now be pushed onto the wooden dowels in the
carbon fibre skid tubes and glued in place. Align the curved ends so that they are parallel to
each other, and check that they form a neat joint with the carbon fibre tubes. Allow the glue to
cure fully.
This completes the landing gear. Glue the assembly to the underside of the base plate as
shown in the picture, taking care to position the plate centrally on the skid bars: tack the parts
together using thin cyano initially, then apply thick cyano to strengthen the joints.
