INSTRUCTIONS

 

      

57.  Align the steering arm to be at a small angle 

from the firewall.  Use thread lock on all the 
nose gear screws.  Cut a 1/8” hole in the firewall, 
aligned with an outer hole in the steering arm.  

  

58.  Put a “L” bend on the end of the nose steering 

rod, then slide into the hole in the fuse.  Slide the 
“L” in the hole of the steering arm.  Cut the 
length of the rod about ½” longer than the length 
to the rudder servo.  Install an “ez” connector on 
the closest in hole of the rudder horn, then install 
the nose steering rod.  Straighten the axle, then 
fasten the rod in place.  If you need to adjust the 
taxi tracking later, do it here at the connector.  

 

59.  Install the nose wheel on the axle, then hold in 

place with a wheel collar and screw.  

 

60.  Locate the fuel tank and remove all the 

components for assembly.  Check the inside of 
the tank for any dust or plastic shavings.  Blow 
out if needed.  The parts are shown in 
approximate assembly order.   

 

61.  Insert the metal fuel tubes in the fuel stopper.  

The long tube is for the fuel pickup, the med is 
for the vent line, and the straight is for an 
optional three line system for fueling.  Insert the 
clunk on the end of the silicone fuel tubing and 
cut to required length that allow it to move freely 
at the end of the tank.  Insert the nut and bolt in 
the stopper, then install the stopper in the tank 
and tighten.
