Installing the Main Landing Gear
The nose gear is installed at the factory. Always ensure
the steering linkage clevis on the rudder servo arm is
correctly adjusted so the nose steers straight when the
rudder control is at neutral.
1. Turn the model so you can see the bottom of
the fuselage.
- Install the left and right fairings (
A
) on the respective
sides of the landing gear strut as shown.
- Install the main landing gear by inserting the main
gear strut (
B
) into the slot in the fuselage as shown.
2. Install the left and right plates (
C
) on the fuselage
using 4 screws (
D
) as shown.
Disassemble in reverse order.
Installing the Tail
To install the tail onto the fuselage of your aircraft, start
by following the 2 easy steps below:
1.
Insert the tail into the slot on the fuselage. Center it by
using the centering guides (

of the tail.
2.
Once the tail is in place and centered, apply
4 pieces
of tape
(included) to secure it into position, 2 on
top and 2 on the bottom (
B
).
Attaching the Clevis to the
Control Horn
Finish the installation of the tail by connecting the control
rod with the clevis on the tail control horn under the
elevator.

second from
the outermost hole (A)
of the control horn.
2. If needed, remove the clevis from the control horn.
