Step 17
Place the strut in the retract mechanism and tighten the
setscrews. Use two tie-wraps to attach the gear door to the
retract strut as shown.
Step 18
Place a drop of silicone adhesive to the gear door where
it rests on the retract. This will keep the door from sliding
down the strut in flight.
Attaching the Wing
Items required
• Wing panel (right and left) • Hex wrench: 3/32-inch
• Fuselage assembly
• Wing tube
• #4 washer (2)
• #4 lock washer (2)
• 4-40 x 3/4-inch socket head screw (2)
Step 1
Locate the aluminum wing tube. Slide the wing tube into the
wing tube socket in one of the wing panels. There is a stop
inside the wing, so don’t force the tube further into the wing
than it will easily slide.
Step 2
Locate the aileron Y-harness inside the fuselage. Make sure
one end of the harness exits the right side of the fuselage
and one exits the left side of the fuselage.
Step 3
Slide the wing tube and wing panel into the socket in the
fuselage. Plug the lead for the aileron servo in the wing
into the extension extending out of the fuselage. Guide the
alignment pins in the wing into the holes in the fuselage,
then slide the wing panel tightly against the fuselage.
