6. Rest the landing gear door block on the gear
door, centering it on the lines previously drawn.
Use a pencil to transfer the mounting holes from the
landing gear door onto the block.
7. Use a drill and 1/16-inch (1.5mm)
drill bit to drill the two mounting holes in the
landing gear door block.
8. Use a sanding block and medium grit
sandpaper to round the back of the landing gear
door block. This will allow the gear to retract
into the wing and help center the gear while it is
retracting.
9. Use a #0 Phillips screwdriver to
install a 2mm x 8mm self-tapping screw in each
of the mounting holes in the landing gear door
block. Remove the screws after cutting the threads
in the blocks.
10. Place 2–3 drops of thin CA in
each of the mounting holes. This will harden the
threads made by the screws making them more
secure when the landing gear door is installed.
11. Repeat steps 7 through 10 to prepare the
second landing gear door mounting block.
12. Attach the landing gear door to the strut using
four 2mm x 8mm self-tapping screws and a #0
Phillips screwdriver.
