The support ar cylinder is not
only a dummy for the
characteristical scale look, it is
s real active cylinder which is
needed to safly opperate the
landing gear as the strut and
wheel are quite heavy for the
smal sylinder of the retract unit
itself.
It is absolutly nessecary to
install this active support
cylinder.
First, take off the main gear
door again, that you see where
you are working.
Mount the “piston end” of the
cylinder to the strut. Tap the
M3 thread in and use an
M3x12 mm allen screw to bolt
through the ball link.
Retract the gear and locate the
mounting point of the other end
of the cylinder. It is
Once you have found the
position, move the gear up and
down, to see if the positions
are right. You might have to
change the position of the
bottom mount slightly. After all
is confirmed and moves
smoothly, finally glue in the
monting.
You will not have to remove
the cylinder at the bottom
mount again, as you can
disconnect the cylinder from
the ball at the main strut, even
if you need to take out the
gear.
