8. Place the correct main gear assembly in position.
The axle will face to the root of the wing, and the
spring will face to the trailing edge of the wing. Use
four 3mm x 14mm countersunk self-tapping screws
and a #1 Phillips screwdriver to tighten the screws.
The end of the axles may have a slight bur
on them from the factory. If the wheel is hard
to install, use a file to remove this bur.
Always use threadlock on metal-to-metal fasteners
to prevent them from vibrating loose.
9. Slide a 3.5mm aluminum wheel spacer on the
axle, then the wheel. A 3.5mm wheel collar is used
to secure the wheel in position by tightening the
setscrews onto the axle using a 1.5mm hex wrench.
10. Repeat steps 2 through 9 to install the
remaining main landing gear and wheel.
