also has a set of predrilled matching holes. Match up the hole
pattern and simply secure the main landing gear to the landing

1. Install axles to the main landing gear.
2. Trial fit a 3” main wheel with a wheel pants. Enlarge the
wheel well cutout if necessary to assure unobstructed
rotation.
3. Position wheel, wheel collars and wheel pants onto axle.
Adjust wheel pants until you have obtained the correct
seating angle. Thread the provided 3mm Pan head wood
screw through the predrilled hole in the landing gear into the wheel pants plywood block.
This will pull the wheel pants up against the landing gear and lock it into position. You may
need to add a few washers to maintain proper spacing between the two.
