Section 2:
Installing the Landing Gear
Items Required
• Wing panel (left and right) • Landing gear strap (4)
• Main landing gear (left and right)
• #4 x 1/2-inch sheet metal screw (8)
• Phillips screwdriver: #2
Step 1
Locate the left landing gear strut. Slide the strut into
position on the bottom of the wing. The wheel will be
towards the leading edge (front) of the wing when installed
correctly. Press the landing gear into the groove of the
landing gear mount.
Step 2
Locate two landing gear straps and four #4 x 1/2-inch sheet
metal screws. Use a #2 Phillips screwdriver to attach the
landing gear straps using the screws. Tighten the landing
gear straps until they pull the landing gear into the groove,
flush with the bottom of the wing.
Hint
: Starting the screw partially in the landing gear
strap will help in getting the screw started in the pre-
drilled holes near the landing gear.
