154...Install the main gear into the slots in the wing.  Place two small
drops of glue into the slot and allow to dry.  Press part W-5C into the
slots to capture the main gear wire and glue into place. 
Note: The axles point inboard.

Place a small piece of covering material over the slot and iron in place.

155...Put the main wheels on the model and press the wheel retainers
into position.  With the retainers in place, cut off the excess wire axle
flush with the retainers.

156...Place the main gear doors into position and glue to the landing
gear wires with a small amount of silicone rubber.

157...Plug the speed controls and servos into the receiver and check the servos and motors for proper operation and
direction.  Adjust the control throws to the values shown on the plan.  Now disconnect the battery and then turn off
the transmitter.

158...Place the battery in the nose of the model.  Attach the propellers.  Attach the wing onto the fuselage.

159...Check the balance of the model.  It should balance at the position shown on the plan.  Move the battery forward
or aft to achieve the proper balance.  Use velcro to secure the battery in the model in this position.  Note:  If moving
the battery will not achieve the proper balance, you will have to add weight to the nose or tail.  Glue any weight
securely to the model.
