Test fit the door in place to test the actuation
and the interaction between the actuation
arm and the gear strut. Manually retract the
landing gear by hand to check the geometry.
Increase or decrease the downward angle on
the actuation arm to achieve correct fit to the
fuselage.
Once satisfied with the fit and actuation of the
gear door, oil the hinges and glue the 3 hinge
flanges into the fuselage using thick CA.
Note:
The gear door can be removed by
pulling the 3 hinge .
Repeat steps for the opposite side gear door.
27.
Locate the
lower main gear door
and test fit
in place. Sand any interference areas as
necessary.
When satisfied with the gear door fit, oil the
hinges and glue the 3 hinge flanges in place
into the fuselage using thick CA.
Note:
The
gear door is removable by pulling the 3 hinge
pins.
Using 2 ea. #64 rubber bands cut the rubber
bands at one end to create a rubber strip.
Glue one end of a rubber strip to the forward
inside door approximately 1/8”-1/4” back from
the forward edge with the rubber band edge
approximately mid door.
Glue one end of the second rubber band to
the rear inside door approximately 1/8”-1/4”
back from the rear edge with the rubber band
edge approximately mid door.
Using the rubber bands through the opposite
side wheel well, with the landing gear
retracted, pull the lower gear shut. Ensure
there is positive pulling force in the up
position.
Note:
The gear door should want to
pull itself shut and will be kept open by the
main gear strut.
When satisfied with the fit of the gear door,
glue the rubber band in place inside the
fuselage between the landing gear.
Trim away the excess rubber pieces.
Using 1/8” lite plywood, create a small wedge
shape and glue it to the base of the main
gear as shown.
Note:
This helps to push
away the main gear to help clear the tire as it
retracts into the wheel well.
Repeat these steps for the opposite side gear
door.
