INSTALLATION main gear
The main gear must be prepared for installation by locating and drilling for the two
roll pins that prevent lateral movements of the main gear. The location for these pins is
on the rear edge of the center gear section located vertically over the section centerline
and 15.75 centimeters on either side of the gear/planes centerline (LBL and RBL 15.75).
Drill 1/4 inch diameter by 1/2 inch deep parallel to the centerline of the aircraft. (The
front end of the device is the rod.) Break (round) the edges of these holes to avoid stress
concentrations. The gear legs and center sections must be dressed flat before the roller
pins are installed. Doing this smoothing in a direction parallel to the length of the gear
legs, being especially diligent in smoothing out cross-wise defects in relation to the
surface, to prevent any future breakage. This operation is for both aesthetic and structural
reasons. Drive pins be put in place after these operations are completed, and test they fit
to the gear recess and remove any excess length of roller pins that might interfere with
the fuselage material. (The roller pins only need to extend past the rear center bolt for
proper retention of gear position). .
