8. After the epoxy gluing the stab and fi n to the fuselage
has hardened, remove the wing.
Mount the Nose Gear
❏
1. Mount the nose wheel pant and nose wheel to the nose
gear the same way as the main gear wheel and pant. Fasten
the nose gear mount and steering arm as shown.
L-bend
1/4" [ 6 mm]
❏
2. Cut the threaded end off a 17-3/4" [450mm] pushrod so
you have a non-threaded pushrod that is 10-1/2" [265mm] in
length. Make a 1/4" [6mm] “L” bend in one end of the pushrod
and install it into the pushrod guide tube for the nose steering.
❏
3. Slide the nose steering pushrod into the guide tube in
the fuselage. Attach the pushrod to the steering arm and
mount the nose gear to the fuselage with four M3 x 12 Phillips
machine-thread screws, M3 lock washers and fl at washers
and a dab of threadlocker on the threads.
Mount the Motor & ESC
❏
1. Mount the motor to the motor mount box with four M3
x 10 Phillips machine-thread screws, M3 lock washers and
fl at washers with a touch of threadlocker on the threads.
❏
2. Use double-sided foam mounting tape or adhesive-
backed hook and loop material and the included small zip
ties to mount the ESC to the bottom of the motor mount
box. Note how the three wires from the ESC to the motor
are guided in and back out the side of the motor mount box
providing an easy path away from the cowl. On top, another
zip tie was used to hang the wires from the top of the motor
mount box keeping them away from the end of the motor shaft.
