Default RE: Try this when installing landing struts

Another tip, mount the bolts as near to the outside of the fuse as possible. If you have the bolts farther inward, you put a high tensile load on the bolt due to the flat part of the gear on the fuse belly trying to bow downward on a hard landing which can strip the head right off a nylon bolt.
