10 The landing gear mount also serves as the
hatch latch assembly. This latch arrangement
can be servo actuated for cargo drops as well
as manually accessed by a bolt that protrudes
through the fuselage just ahead of the landing
gear. Refer to figure A, which is an exploded
view of the stack order of the gear/latch as-
sembly. Use the registration pins to assemble
this unit.
a. Place GM-A on the registration pins with
the labeled side up and the forward arrow
pointing to your left.
b. Glue GM-B to GM-A.
c. Remove this assembly from the pins and
install four #6-32 blind nuts into the holes
provided in GM-B.
d. Place the assembly back onto the pins and
then glue on GM-C. Note that GM-C has
some dash cut tabs on the front and back as
well as a channel cut down the center. After
gluing GM-C to the assembly, cut off the tabs
and remove the material to form a channel.
e. Note that there are some large openings in
GM-D. We do not want any glue in the areas
of these openings or the area that will cross
over the channel in GM-C. It is best to ap
-
ply adhesive sparingly to that back of GM-D
and then place it on the pins and bring it into
contact with GM-C. Glue GM-D to the as
-
sembly.
f. The actuator spring is a piece of .02” mu-
sic wire installed into GM-D. Cut a piece of
.02” music wire 3-3/8” long and install it into
the opening in GM-D. If it touches GM-D at
the ends, shorten it slightly. This spring will
serve as the return spring for the hatch latch
mechanism.
g. The last piece in the stack is GM-E. Glue
GM-E on and take care to not get any glue
into the channel or spring area.
h. Sand the sides of the hatch latch tongue
(HLT) smooth so there are no rough edges.
This must slide freely in the channel in GM-
C. Place HLT in the channel in GM-C with the
hole in the end of HLT facing forward. Place a
#4-40 x 1” bolt with a flat washer up through
the assembly from the bottom. Take care to
get the spring on the forward side of the bolt
and through the hole in HLT. Secure it with
a #4-40 Nylock nut. Just snug the nut down
