Dynaflite DYFA1009 - Manual (Page 28)

LJ 3. Use your bar sander with 80-grit sandpaper to
sand the ends of the landing gear rails so they are
flush with the fuselage sides. Bevel the corners for a
neater appearance.
LJ 4. Center the 1/16" plywood landing gear plate
on the landing gear rails. Drill four 1/16" holes
evenly spaced 1/4" from both ends of the plate.
Remove the plate, then enlarge the holes in the plate
only with a 3/32" drill bit.
U 1. Center your engine on the firewall, then mark
the location of the mounting holes. Drill 1/16" holes
at the marks and temporarily mount your engine
with #2 x 3/8" screws (not included).
MOUNT YOUR ENGINE
Q 5. Temporarily mount the landing gear in the
fuselage with the landing gear plate and four #2 x
3/8" screws.
U 2. Glue both 3/8" x 2" x 1-7/8" cowl side
blocks to the firewall with medium CA.
LJ 6. Make four 1/4" x 5/8" landing gear bearing
plates from leftover 1/16" plywood. Use medium
CA to glue them to the fuselage sides next to the
landing gear. Make sure the landing gear is straight
and perpendicular to the fuse bottom.
Q 3. Test fit and shape a 3/8" x 1-1/2" x 1-3/4"
cowl bottom block so it fits between the side blocks
on the bottom of the fuselage. Lightly push the
bottom block into the bottom vent tube on the engine
so the tube leaves a mark on the block, then drill a
3/16" hole through the block at the mark. Glue the
block in position with medium CA.
