insert nut is recommended on the bottom of the servo arm in any case. Make sure your servo
moves the control surface in the correct direction and to the desired throw. If there is any binding
fix it now, since we used CA hinges they generally do not bind, but if you have a stiff surface
then unhook the pushrod and physically move the surface from bevel to bevel several times, this
will loosen it up, repeat if necessary. Use these same procedures on the remaining wing halves.

4. Take a look at figure 6 and identify the various parts. Since we have the wheel cuffs, the order
of assembly is important. First bolt the main gear to the fuselage. Begin by distinguishing which
way the gear sweeps, I do this by laying the mounting flat onto a table and eyeball or hold a
straight edge (such as a square) and you will be able to identify which way the gear is swept. The
gear will mount with the sweep forward (towards the motor). Locate the (4) 4mm bolts and
washers, apply a small amount of blue thread lock and then bolt the gear to the fuselage. There
are blind nuts already installed, tighten and then locate the 2 wheel cuffs. Trial fit the cuffs onto
the gear, I mounted mine with the end that has more sweep forward, but either way will work.
Just be sure they fit flush against the fuselage, if they don’t switch sides. Once the fit and look is
satisfactory, I glued mine with Foam tac, welders adhesive or other flexible drying adhesives will
work. I applied adhesive to the gear and cuff only.
