12. Secure the nose gear assembly in the fuselage using four 3mm x
8mm socket head screws.
 13. Remove the horn from the servo and attach the clevis to the horn.
Place the horn on the servo and check that the steering is centered when
the steering servo is centered. Once the linkage is set, tighten the 2mm
nut against the clevis using pliers so the clevis doesn’t vibrate loose. Slide
the silicone over the forks of the clevis and install the screw to secure the
servo horn to the servo using a #1 Phillips screwdriver.

14. Attach the nose gear cover to the fuselage using a #1 Phillips
screwdriver and the four 2mm x 8mm self-tapping screws removed in
step 1.
E-tips
Add clear tape to both sides of the nose gear door to help secure it to the
fuselage.
NOTE:
A solid nose gear plate has been supplied with your Habu 32 for
those who want to have a fully functional nose gear door. The installation
is not covered in the manual and is left up the modeler for installation and
operation. The installation of this plate will reduce the drag of the nose
gear and provide a slight increase in speed of your model.

15. Select the correct adapter that fits to the landing gear strut. Insert
two adapters in either side of the hub of the wheel.
E-tips
Always use threadlock on metal-to-metal fasteners to prevent them from
vibrating loose.
 16. Use a flat file to make a 1/4-inch (6mm) wide flat area on the gear
near the end of the axle strut for the setscrew to rest. This will keep the
wheel collar from vibrating loose in flight.
E-tips
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.
