None of the mounting holes matched those already on the plane so I had to knock out the pre-installed blind nuts, fill the existing holes with Hysol 9462 and drill and tap new holes to mount the Electron gear. So far only the retracts have been mounted. Still waiting on the engine to come in and get mounted before deciding where to install all the other internal gadgets including the retract controller. The strut on the mains is slightly above the mold line of the surface of the wings so it looks like I will not be able to use the gear doors supplied with the plane.


I added an additional thickness of plywood for the nosegear retract and tapped the holes for 6-32 bolts. In the second photo you can see where I had to remove a little bit of plywood so the steering arm would have clearance.
