E-flite Cessna 150 Aerobat 250 ARF Assembly Manual
12. Attach the main landing gear to the fuselage
using two 3mm x 8mm self-tapping screws, two 3mm
washers and a #2 Phillips screwdriver. Note that the
gear angle is forward when installed.
13. Locate the wheels for you aircraft. There are two
larger wheel for the main gear and one smaller wheel
for the nose gear.
14. Locate a 2mm x 25mm machine screw and 2mm
washer. Slide the washer on the screw, then slide the
screw through the hole in the main gear.
When installing the wheel and wheel pant
for the main gear, all the components must
be inside the wheel pant before the 2mm x
25mm machine screw can be tightened.
Always use threadlock on metal-to-metal fasteners
to prevent them from vibrating loose.
15. Slide a 2mm washer on the screw, then thread
a 2mm nut on the screw. Leave a gap of roughly
1/8-inch (3mm) between the gear and washer
(as shown) so the wheel pant can fit between the
washer and gear.
16. Slide the plywood spacer on the screw, then
the wheel.
17. Once the wheel is in position, place one of the
wheel collars on the screw. The round side of the
collar will be against the wheel. Use a 1.5mm hex
wrench to temporarily tighten the setscrew.
