MAIN LANDING GEAR INSTALLATION
Place a small bead of silicone sealant in the groove, then insert the
landing gear strut into the fuselage in the holes on the bottom as shown.
Secure the struts in place with the metal straps and m3 x 10 self-tapping
screws.
NOSE GEAR CONTROL ROD
1. Drill a 1/8" hote in the fuselage bottom right side ata 30' angle so that
the drill also drills through the front fuel tank mount, insert the
17 3/4" x 1 /16" rod through the holes and mark where the rod hits the
rear fuel tank mount. Remove the rod. Cut a white tube to 11" and
rough it up with 240 grit sandpaper. Drill a 1 /8" hole where you made
the mark in the rear fuel tank mount. Insert the white plastic tube
through the holes so that the end of the tube is even with the bottom
of the fuselage. Epoxy the tube to the fuel tank mounts and the
bottom of the fuselage.
2. Install the nose gear control horn parallel to the nose gear axle and
tighten the mounting screw. Next install a 4mm x 10mm collar on top
of the control horn and secure with a m3 x 4 screw.

WHEEL INSTALLATION
Install awheel on the nose gear. Then install a 4m m x 10m m wheel collar
and secure it with a m3x 4 screw. Install a 5mm x 10mm wheel collar on
each side of the main landing gear. Then install the wheels and then the
other 5mm x 10mm wheel collar. Secure the wheel collars with the m3 x
