E-flite Habu 32 EDF ARF Assembly Manual
Work slowly when using a sanding drum on the
screws. The screws will heat up while sanding,
which could melt the landing gear door.
13. Use side cutters and a rotary tool with a
sanding drum to smooth the ends of the screws
against the inside of the blocks. If this is not done,
the screws could catch on the edges of the retract
opening and cause the gear to not retract correctly.
14. Slide the landing gear door so the top block
is resting against the coil of the landing gear strut.
Apply a thin bead of canopy glue along the front
and back of the strut against the landing gear
door. Rotate the door a few times to work the glue
behind the strut.
15. Retract the landing gear using the radio
system. This will set the correct angle for the
landing gear door against the wing. Allow the glue
to cure overnight before moving the gear back to
the down position.
16.Repeat steps 1 through 15 to install the second
landing gear door.
