determined the configuration, file flat spots on the retract
legs and the wheel axles for the wheel collars and wheel
axle. Apply Great Planes Pro Threadlocker on the SHCS
and tighten them.
Note: The installation of the main fixed gear for both the
Fixed Mains and Tailwheel and the Fixed Tricycle is identical
except for the location. The mounting blocks for either of the
two fixed gear were installed during the wing construction
and the openings in the wing sheeting for either of the gear
were cut out on page 22, steps 52 and 53 of the wing
construction. Use the following instructions for the
installation of both main fixed gear.

10. Fixed Mains and Tailwheel & Fixed Tricycle. Use a
small file to bevel the hole in the landing gear mounting
blocks. Locate the left main gear wire and slide it in place in
the landing gear mounting block. Do the same for the right
landing gear wire.

11. Fixed Mains and Tailwheel & Fixed Tricycle. Place
two nylon landing gear straps on the landing gear mounting
blocks as indicated on the plans. Drill 1/16" [1.6mm] pilot
holes for the landing gear straps mounting holes. Wick thin
CA into the holes. Repeat this step for the other wing.
❏
12. Fixed Mains and Tailwheel & Fixed Tricycle. Install
all four landing gear straps in place with eight #2 x 1/2"
[13mm] screws.

13. Fixed Mains and Tailwheel & Fixed Tricycle. Install
the main wheels in place using four 5/32" [4mm] wheel

Threadlocker on the SHCS and tighten them.
