2) Insert the 90º bend of each main gear wire
into the predrilled holes in the mounting slot. See
photo # 14 below.

3) The gear wires are held in place using four
nylon landing gear straps and eight 3mm x 12mm
wood screws. Each strap should be centered over the
gear wires and should also be spaced equally between
the fuselage sides.

4) Using the landing gear straps as a guide, mark
the locations of the eight 3mm x 12mm mounting
screws onto the fuselage using a pen.

5) Remove the straps. Using a 1/16” drill bit,
drill eight 1/16” holes into the fuselage to accept the
wood screws.
