Mounting the retract units it’s important the two are the same distance from the gear door hinge positions so both sides match. I set my units to suit the wing with the shortest distance ( due to the carbon rib build up) that worked out to 225mm (8 7/8”) from the door shut to retract yoke.

Playing with the leg door set up this is the simplest yet. CARF have really thought about this, the linkage comes pre done. I used a loop of masking tape to push the pivot tube into the door and added some spots of Slo Zap to the tube, closed the door, let it set...and it just worked 😄
