Zeque Build Glow Powered

Landing gear installation. As a reminder, my goal is to execute the themes used by Mr. Suzuki, Zeque designer. The landing gear mounting uses a carbon plate with (4) bolts and washers. I will use washers from the MK medium control horns drilled out for a 6-32 body drill #27.

I made the plate from 1/16 aircraft plywood, cut to size and the holes drilled for the bolts. Carbon fiber cloth is then bonded to one side using 30 minute ZAP epoxy then turned face down on a piece of wax paper. The other side is coated with ZAP laminating epoxy and another sheet of wax paper is placed on the plate. A weight is added to the top of the plate until cured.

The completed plate has a very smooth finish and is now very strong. The plate is trimmed, the edges sanded and ZAP laminating epoxy is brushed on the edges for installation.
