q
Position the landing gear bracket on the bottom of the fuselage. When
aligned properly, the front edge of the landing gear bracket should be
positioned 5/8" (16mm) back from the front of the fuselage and the landing
gear bracket should be centered between the fuselage sides.
IMPORTANT
Make sure that when you install the landing gear bracket in the next few procedures that the landing gear legs are
angled forward so that the wheels will be toward the front of the fuselage.
q
Position the four mounting straps over the landing gear wires (two at the
front and two at the back), then mark the locations of the mounting screws
onto the fuselage.
q
Drill eight 5/64" (2mm) diameter pilot holes into the fuselage at the marks
you drew.
q
Install the four mounting straps, using eight M3 x 12mm wood screws, to
secure the landing gear bracket into place.
