Mounting a new landing gear plate took some thought. First, I cut the plate the same size as the original and sanded to fit. Then put a layer of CF cloth on the top side for extra strength. I drilled the right side landing gear, mounted it to the plate, then drilled through the aluminum angle pieces. Its amazing how little aluminum drillings there were. Food for thought. Then I drilled from the top (through the holes on the other side) and took the plate out, cleaned every bit of aluminum dust or drillings I could find, and then glued the plate in and screwed the gear legs in. This plate will not come out without ripping the sides of the fuselage off. Just need to finish it up. The mixture of finishing epoxy and a large amount of microballons created a paste to fill the cracks and dents. Then sanded with a block. Use your fingers to slide along the surface to see if there is more filling and sanding needed.
