Installation - Retractable Gear.
 1. Use a hobby knife with a new #11 blade to
remove the covering to access the landing gear
mounts. Leave 1/32-inch (1mm) of covering
around the inside edges. Use a trim seal tool to
iron down the covering around the edges to finish
the opening.
 2. Place a main landing gear block in the wing.
It may distort the covering slightly during its
installation. Make sure it is resting flat on the
landing gear rails.
 3. Prepare a 5/64-inch (2mm) drill bit by wrapping
a piece of low-tack tape around the drill bit 5/8-
inch (16mm) from the end of the bit. This will act as
a marker so you don’t accidentally drill through the
top of the wing. Place the drill bit in a drill.
 4. Use the drill and drill bit prepared in the
previous step to drill the four holes for the landing
gear block mounting screws.
 5. Remove the landing gear block from the wing.
Use a #1 Phillips screwdriver to thread a 3mm x
14mm countersunk self-tapping screw in each hole
to cut threads into the landing gear rails. Remove
the screws after threading the holes.
