5. Position the gear strut in the retract unit so that

the coil is parallel with the centerline of the fuselage.

An excellent visual cue for this is to align the coil

with the rib under the coil. The gear strut should

orient towards the wing tip with the coil facing

towards the root.

6. Mark this angle and remove the gear strut from

the retract unit and use a flat file to grind a flat spot

on the gear strut to so that it can not rotate when the

setscrew has been tightened. It is absolutely critical

that this is aligned properly, and it may take some

adjustment to arrive at the correct angle. Take your

time and ensure that this is perfect. Reinsert the strut

into the retract unit and tighten the setscrew in the

unit to lock the strut into place.
