6. Use a hobby knife with a #11 blade to trim a 1/4-inch (6mm) piece
from the silicone tubing.
E-tips
Always use threadlock on metal-to-metal fasteners to prevent them from
vibrating loose.
 7. Slide the piece of silicone tubing on one of the metal clevises.
Assemble the steering linkage by threading a 2mm nut and metal clevis
on either end of the 2

-inch (57mm) threaded rod as shown. Thread the
clevis without the tubing so the threads are barely visible between the
forks of the clevis, then use pliers to tighten the nut against the clevis to
keep the clevis from moving.

8. Use the radio system to move the nose gear retract to the UP
position. Use a 1.5mm hex wrench to loosen the screw on the steering
arm and wheel collar to remove the strut from the mechanism.
E-tips
We have designed the main gear struts to work with both the fixed gear
and the suggested retracts. These struts are designed for the weight and
speeds of the Habu. Use the struts supplied with the kit for the retract
assembly.
Always use threadlock on metal-to-metal fasteners to prevent them from
vibrating loose.

9. Use a 1.5mm hex wrench to secure the steering arm by tightening
the setscrew on the lower flat of the nose gear strut. Make sure the arm is
positioned as shown in the photo.

10. Install the supplied nose gear strut in the retract mechanism and
tighten the setscrews using a 1.5mm hex wrench. The setscrews should
align with the flat spots on the nose gear leg.
 11. Connect the clevis without the tubing to the steering arm of the
nose gear assembly.
E-tips
Cut a 1/2-inch (13mm) piece of silicone tubing and slide it on a 2.5mm
hex wrench. The 3mm screw can then be placed in the tubing and
against the hex wrench so the screw can be easily installed to secure
the landing gear.
E-tips
Always use threadlock on metal-to-metal fasteners to prevent them from
vibrating loose.
