Our experience is that the LG02 is pretty much flush with the bottom of the
fuselage. If its any higher the tire will hit the brake master cylinder.
Be sure to check the clearance of the tire to the master cylinder before you
go about setting the flap acutation horn FL21 because any change in the LG02
position will affect the flap position (voice of experience). Neville gave
us some good tips on setting FL21 but I didn't write them down. Seems like
he had us reverse the procedure, ie start with flaps up and adjust the horn
for flaps down position. Check with him since the book procedure didnt seem
to work!

Dan,
I set mine so that the frame is parallel with the fuse- bottom,
but am as querilous as you re: the proper site. I used Christmas card photos
(of which I have far too many) as a guide.

Dan,
Mine is slightly higher than flush, however I did discover something else.
I was concerned that my brake cylinder might touch the tunnel, or even get
caught so I made a cut out in the tunnel to give extra clearance. After I
had done that I discovered that the wheel retracted even more, the reason
being was that the brake cylinder was already touching and I couldn't see
it.
So, with that all said, make sure you have plenty of clearance, as the
cylinder will move out more as the brake pads wear down.

I set mine so that the LG02 is just inside the bottom of the fuselage.

If in the future you ever decide to install a wheel fairing, you will be
glad that the swingarm is flush with the fuse bottom.

Only two Europas made it to Wolverhampton this week. The weather was much
worse than forecasted with cunimbs all over the place! Wolverhampton is now
under new management and they are bending over backwards to make GA pilots
welcome. The grub is very good value as well.
Rick Morris has taken the batten for next week.
Regards,
William
