8. Slide a main gear strut into the retract mechanism. Use the
setscrews and a 1.5mm hex wrench to secure the main gear wire in the
mechanism. The setscrews will tighten down on the flats at the top of the
strut to prevent the strut from rotating in the block. Assemble the right and
left main gear retract assemblies at this time.
NOTE:
The first shipment of EFL 15–25 size retracts were shipped with only
one setscrew holding in the main strut. This is fine for the lower weight
limits of the retracts, but for the higher end of the weight limits, we suggest
using a setscrew in each side of the strut. Future shipments will have a
setscrew in each side of the unit. If your units only have a setscrew in one
side of the unit, remove another setscrew for each of the fixed gear units
supplied with the kit.
 9. Secure a 3-inch (76mm) servo extension to the lead on the retract
mechanism using string or a commercially available connector.

10. Tie the end of the string around the end of the extension. Use
care not to pull the string from the wing.

11. Use the string to pull the lead through the wing and out at
the root rib as shown. Remove the string once the lead has been pulled
through.
 12. Place the correct retract 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.

14. Select the correct adapter that fits to the landing gear strut.
Insert two adapters in either side of the hub of the wheel.
