 Put a fair amount of epoxy around the top of the holes in the cockpit. This makes the
large locating washers sit perfectly in the holes.
 Then put a light smear of grease around the bottom of the washer and around the bolt
shaft to stop the epoxy from sticking to the metal parts. It is important to have the
washers seated properly to avoid future damage to the structure
 Cover the tops of the landing gear leg with silicone before mounting as shown below
 Place undercarriage bolts into floor of fuselage and fit undercarriage leg. You'll need
someone to lift the front of the plane to do this, as its not so light.
 Tighten the nylocs on the undercarriage to 5.5 Newton meters. Apply Loctite 243.
 Wipe up any excess epoxy and grease. After 24 hours it is necessary to retighten the
bolts again to 5.5 Newton meters to allow for the epoxy to come out while it is curing.
