Installing the Landing Gear

 

Install the main landing gear by inserting the wire into 

the locator hole in the wing. Swivel the landing gear 

toward the retaining clips and gently snap into place.

Installing Landing Skids (Optional)

Two landing gear skids have been included with the F4U 

Corsair PNP should you choose to fly without the  

landing gear. To install, simply apply the skids over 

the landing gear mounts and secure with the included 

screws. The rear edge of the skids can be secured to 

the Z-Foam using double-sided tape.

NOTE: The landing gear is directional.  When properly 

installed, the landing gear will rake forward to add 

stability in landing. If the gear does not angle forward 

when installed, simply reverse the landing gear.
