Section 18: Wheel Pant Installation

Required Parts

• Fuselage assembly

• 4

" main wheel (2)

• 4-40 blind nut (4)

• #4 washer (4)

• 4-40 x 1/2" socket head screw (4)
• 3/16" x 2" axle w/lock nut (2)
• 3/16" wheel collar w/set screw (4)

Required Tools and Adhesives

• Felt-tipped pen

• Thick CA

• Drill

• Ruler

• Drill Bit: 1/8", 5/64", 1/2"

Step 1

Secure the axles to the main landing gear using the nuts
provided with the axles.

Step 2

Measure and mark the center of the wheel opening
in the wheel pant.

Step 3

Measure and mark the location for the axle on the
wheel pant. The center of the axle will be located
1

" up from the bottom of the pant. Drill the

location using a 1/2" drill.

Hint

: You can also drill the holes a smaller

size then use a tapered reamer and/or a
sanding drum to enlarge them to 1/2".

Step 4

Slide the wheel pant over the axle and onto the
landing gear. Set the fuselage level, then level the
wheel pant. Use tape to hold the wheel pant in position
for the next step.
