E-flite Habu 32 EDF ARF Assembly Manual
The end of the axles may have a slight bur
on them from the factory. If the wheel is hard
to install use a file to remove this bur.
Always use threadlock on metal-to-metal fasteners
to prevent them from vibrating loose.
12. Slide a 3.5mm aluminum wheel spacer on
the axle, then the wheel with adapters. A 3.5mm
wheel collar is used to secure the wheel in position
by tightening the setscrews onto the axle using a
1.5mm hex wrench.
13. Repeat steps 1 through 12 to install the
remaining main landing gear and wheel.
