RE: Composite-Arf 2.3 Construction
I layered the entire landing gear area with a single layer of
Kevlar cloth and epoxy and then made a 1/4" aircraft ply
plate that sits on top of and spans
the two gear pieces (side of fuse to other side of fuse and as wide
as the gear channel in the bottom of the fuse) and
is pierced by the four landing gear bolts. This requires longer
bolts. Don't remember the exact length.... Then used large
washers under the bolt heads to further spread the load over
the ply plate.
