NOTE:

There are several ways to mount wheel
pants. Following are two different methods.

4.

!

Place the wheel pant against the back of the
axle, next to the landing gear.  Make a mark
on the axle where the outside of the axle hits
the wheel pant.  

!

Check to make sure that the wheel and both
the inside and outside wheel collars will fit on
the axle.  If the fit is right, cut the axle at the
point of the mark.

Alternatively, mark the wheel pant where the axle
strikes the wheel pant and drill a 5/32” hole at that
location on the outside of the wheel pant.  Let the
axle exit from inside the wheel pant through this
hole.  This will help support the wheel pant when fly-
ing off a grass or rough field.

3.

!

Slide the wheel pant over the axle and up
against the landing gear.  Make a mark on
the wheel pant where it hits the axle.

5.

!

When satisfied with the fit of all the compo-
nents, mount the wheelpants, wheels and
the remaining (outside) wheel collars onto
the axle.

!

Turn the aircraft right-side up and level the
stabilizer.

6.

!

Make sure the wheel pant is horizontal to the
tabletop by measuring from the center of the
front pant tip and the center of the back pant
tip, as shown above.

!

When the wheel pant is level, mark the loca-
tion of the landing gear holes on to the back
of the wheel pant.

!

Remove the wheel pant and drill a 7/64” hole
at the marks.

.

!

Insert a 4-40 blind nut inside the wheel pant
in each of the holes.

7.

!

Re-mount the wheel pant and insert a 4-40 x
1/2” socket head bolt through the back of the
landing gear in each of the holes and tighten
down the screw.

!

Repeat the above steps for the other wheel
pant.

Note: Place thread lock on the screws at this time.
