Required Tools and Fasteners : #2 Phillips Screw Driver (4) M3x10 Phillips Head Self-Tapping Screw
1.5mm Hex Driver (2) M5 Lock Collars, with Set Screws
(2) M5 Spacers
1. Slide an M5 spacer over the landing gear wire.
2. Slide a main wheel over the landing gear wire, followed by a lock collar. Add a drop of blue thread lock to the set screw, and secure it in place.
Repeat for the other wheel.
3. Push the landing gear wire into the bottom of the fuselage. Orientation of the wire landing gear does not matter, however, the plastic wire
covers are directional. You should have more material AFT of the landing gear wire. Insert the plastic landing gear keeper after the landing gear,
noting orientation. The plastic part will sit flush in one orientation, but in the wrong direction, may not sit flush.
4. Secure the plastic landing gear plate into the fuselage using 4 M3x10 self-tapping Phillips head screws. Do not over-tighten. Press the tailwheel
wire into the plate on the bottom of the rudder. Lay the tailwheel plate over the wire, and secure it in place with two M3x10 Phillips head self-
tapping screws.
