NOSE GEAR DOOR AIR CYLINDER
Trim the maple stick to approximately 5”. Bevel the
front corners to clear the glue fillet of F-1. The maple
stick is glued to the rear of F-1 flush with the top edge.
Assemble the nose gear door cylinder mount and
doubler, glue in position on the maple stick such
that the nose gear door opens completely and the
strut clears the air cylinder when the gear and
door are up. The left edge of the doubler
measures approximately 1.25” from the left side
of the fuselage.
