1. Nose gear installation and
nose gear doors
The front air intake duct and
the nose gear formers are
already pre-installed.
The nose gear unit is
preassembled already. Still
you might better take off the
strut, so that you can mount
and handle everything easier.
Fit the assembled nose gear
unit into the fuselage. Mark the
holes with a pencil.
Make the half round cutout
for the strut, as shown in the
folloing photos.
Drill the 5.5 mm holes and
insert the T-nuts from the top.
Check the movement of the
gear carefully, check the
angles and, especially, the
fit of the wheel inside the
air intake, when retracted.
Wheel should touch slightly when retracted
