Firewall reinforcement. Glue behind the firewall.

Firewall. Made out of 1/8’’ lite ply.

50

Landing gear CF tubes are 150mm long and

installed at a 50 degree angle. The center of the
LG tube meets the wing at 10mm from the
leading edge of the wing and at 25mm from the
fuselage. The center of the tube should cross the
fuselage at 29.8mm (tan (50) = 29.8/25!!!).
