prepairing to install retracts.

first step is to remove the front mount. I ran a x-acto #26 blade between the front Landing Gear mount and the support as far down as I can. Then grab it with a pair of pliers and twist it till it breaks free from the end I can reach. Pull that end out, push back in and repeat till it can be pulled out.

Use the removed support to make new ones out of maple.

I don’t know what the old EM material is but it sure has the feel of Balsa.
