I carried the 1/2" foam riser from the long area of the gear door through a 90 degree bend out on to the large part of the door for more support before installing my 4 bid carbon over that area. With the gear doors closed and the "up stops" temporarily in position about 1/2" lower than "approximately level with the fuselage" as the manual calls, I still have 1 1/4" clearance between the door and the tire. With the miniscule baggage compartment on the IVP, I would like to maximize the baggage area by keeping the wheel cover as tight to the bottom as possible. Is there any reason I need more than the 1 1/4" of clearance between the tire and the gear door? I can locate the "up stop" tighter to the gear box member if need be to attain more clearance.
