and cut the pushrod. Then, hook up the aileron with a
90-degree pushrod connector on the servo arm as shown.
❏
9. Hook up the aileron servo in the right wing the same way.
Mount the Landing Gear
❏
1. Fit the landing straps into the wing. Then, use the holes
in the straps as a guide to drill 1/16" [1.6mm] holes into the
landing gear rails for the mounting screws.
❏
2. Enlarge the holes in all the landing gear straps with a
3/32" [2.4mm] drill.
❏
3. Fit one of the main landing gear wires into one of the
wheel pants—be certain the end of the wire engages the
plywood disc inside the pant. Hold a nylon landing gear
strap into position, and then mark one of the holes in the
strap onto the pant.
❏
4. Drill a 1/16" [1.6mm] hole through the pant at the mark.
❏
5. Fasten the gear to the pant with a strap and a M2.5 x
10 washer-head Phillips wood screw. Use the other hole in
the strap as a guide to drill the hole for the second screw.
❏
6. Fasten the other side of the strap to the pant with
another M2.5 x 10 screw.
❏
7. Remove the strap and the gear from the pant. Lightly
wet the threads of two M3 set screws with threadlocker
and thread them each into a wheel collar with a 1.5mm hex
driver wrench.
❏
8. Install the landing gear wire back into the pant with a
wheel and a wheel collar on both sides of the wheel. Fasten
the gear with the strap and screws. Then, tighten the collars
to the gear with the wheel centered in the pant. Make sure
the wheel rotates smoothly. A small amount of oil on the
axle is recommended.
