Attach the four M3 x 8mm screws
through the landing gear plates into
the threaded ends of the gear rail
tubes; place a nylon washer under all
of the screws. Try not to over tighten,
just make firm contact.
The remaining gear rail tubes can now
be attached as landing gear brace
tubes with M3x8mm screws. Place
two on each side at your desired
spacing.
Pass the M3 x 12mm screw through
the landing gear bracket you set
up earlier and secure with the M3
nyloc nut. This part shouldn’t be fully
tightened until after the landing gear
assembly has been fitted to the craft.
Repeat steps 4 and 5 with
the second landing gear
plate so your setup looks
like this.

NOTE:
When tightening
each screw make sure
you secure the opposite
end. Failure to do so
may damage the bond
causing the inner tube
to spin. There is no
functional or structural
disadvantage if this
were to happen - just
secure both ends whilst
tightening.
