I transferred the gear mounting position from the plans to the foam wing and marked the center line and the outside mounting point for the retract unit. I’m using ¼” plywood for the gear mounts with 4 - 40 blind nuts for the 4 – 40 nylon bolts that I like to use for my gear attachment. I’ll cover the bottom of the blind nuts with a round piece of masking tape before I epoxy the mounts into the wing. I will be cutting part of the inner gear mount off because it is too long to be mounted crossways along the curved part of the wing. The gear mount must be set at an angle because of the wing sweep back.

In the first image, the camera distorted the lines a little. The line marking the outside edge of the retract unit is actually parallel with the root line of the wing.
