❑
Insert the 90º bend in one main gear wire into the
predrilled hole in one landing gear mounting slot.
❑
Push the landing gear wire firmly down into the slot.
☞
The top of the wire should be nearly flush with the bottom
of the wing.
❑
The main gear wire is held in place using three nylon landing gear straps and six 3mm x 12mm wood screws. Position
three nylon straps over the landing gear wire, equal distances from each end of the wire.
❑
While holding the nylon straps in place, use a pencil to mark the locations of the mounting screws onto the wing.
IMPORTANT
Make sure the nylon straps are centered over the landing gear wire when you mark the positions of the
mounting screw holes. This will ensure the screws won't miss being installed in the hardwood landing gear mounting block.
❑
Remove the nylon straps and drill six 5/64" diameter pilot holes into the wing.
WARNING
Be careful not to drill through the top of the wing.
❑
Install the landing gear straps using six 3mm x 12mm
wood screws.
Step 2: Installing the Main Gear Wheels
❑
Slide one 4mm nylon spacer onto each axle followed
by one main gear wheel.
❑
Secure each wheel into place using one 4mm wheel
collar and set screw.
IMPORTANT
Before completely tightening the set screws,
double-check that the wheels spin without binding.
❑
Repeat the previous procedures to install the main gear wire in the other half of the wing.
