RE: Westbury Hunter Build Thread
Off to a slow start, but I was never the fastet builder.
The nose gear doors were supplied as separate glass/carbon molding. I taped them into position and lined the nose door area with 2mm Rohacell foam and a layer of glass cloth. I then cut out the doors and made a lip from polyply. The doors sit on the lip perfectly flush and show no sign of flexing. I cut out an area of foam from both the door and fuselage and epoxied in a flat area of polyply so that I had a solid and flat area to mount the door hinges on.
Then I cut out the 1/4" ply formers and the mounting frame for the nose gear. This seems a good scheme as the nose gear mounting frame just bolts onto the fuselage frames, so it should be easy to replace if ever there is the need.
