On to the main gear. The first step was to decide on the orientation. I chose to have it sweep back.



There are calculations you can do to determine where the gear should go. After a lot of thought, research and advice I decided that placing the axles directly beneath the leading edge (in a level attitude) was the solution for me. To that end, I followed these steps.
[*]Eyeball the placement of the gear on the fuse[*]Mark the leading edge of the gear on one side of the bottom, 5mm from the edge[*]Insert a t-pin at the mark[*]Roughly across the bottom from the t-pin, make a short line parallel to the edge and 5mm from it[*]Pick a forward point on the fuse. Measure halfway across the bottom and insert the t-pin there[*]Measure the distance between the two t-pins[*]Mark the same distance from the forward -pin to where it intersects the 5mm line drawn in step 4.[*]Insert a third t-pin at the mark[*]The line between the two rearmost t-pins forms an accurate leading edge location for the gear
