Default RE: Falconwings Gear Door Tutorial

Hey David:

Thanks so much man.

Now please, a tutorial about door cylinder actuator installation and the right cylinder lenght selection.

I think this is more complicated that the gear door itself. To find the exact cylinder pivot position to get the right amount of door rotation is a mess.

On my F-16, although my new fuse I got at the end of 2.008 came with the gear doors installed (Not the gear itself because I kept it from my first F-16), I needed to trim a small amount of the right side fuse where the cylinder touch the it, for the door to open wide to avoid fouling with the wheel.
