Now mark the position of the axle holes in the wheel yoke on the wheel spat, and drill 
the holes to match the diameter of the wheel axle. Install the wheel and the collets as 
shown in the photo. The wheel axle should project by an equal amount on both sides 
of the wheel spat. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The nosewheel unit can now be slid into the bearing hole in the noseleg bracket from 
the underside, fitting the steering arm on it at the same time 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
To avoid having to dismantle the noseleg unit again, the steering pushrod should be 
connected  to  the  outer  hole  in  the  steering  arm  at  this  stage.  Run  the  pushrod 
through the guide tube, and glue the sleeve to the formers and other wooden parts. 
 
Installing the tailplane and fin 
Insert the hinges and horns in the appropriate slots in the tailplane and elevators, as 
described for the ailerons, and glue them in place.
