Installing Retractable Nose Gear
1. Install the retract harness in the fuselage by
connecting the harness to the 3 gear extensions
and the GEAR port on the receiver.
2. Where installed, remove the nose gear plate
and 6 screws from the nose.
3.
Replace the 5-hole steering servo arm
with
the included 2-hole servo arm (
G
) using the
installed screw as shown.
4. Connect the clevis (
J
) to the gear (
H
) using the
screw (
I
).
5. Connect the linkage (
K
) to the inner most hole
of the steering servo arm using the included
snap link (
L
).
6. Connect the retract connnector (
M
) to the gear
harness extension in the nose compartment.
7. Install the nose retract (
N
) in the fuselage using
4 screws (
O
) included with the aircraft.
Carefully align and install the screws in the
existing holes in the nose compartment. Some
force will be required to cut threads in the
plastic using these screws.
NOTICE:
Always ensure the aircraft rolls straight
when the rudder control on your transmitter is at
neutral.
8. Where needed, install the outer plate (
P
) on the
nose using 6 screws (
Q
).
9. Operate the nose gear to ensure it moves freely
and operates correctly.
Tip:
If desired for scale appearance, install the
nose gear door (
R
) on the strut.
Tip:
For increased steering travel, move the push-
rod to the outer hole of the servo arm.
Setting up the Retractable Main Struts
For Your Aircraft
Before installing the optional E-fl ite
®
retractable landing gear (EFLG110), col-
lect the wheels and necessary fasteners from the included aircraft parts.
Setting up the Retractable Nose Gear Strut
For Your aircraft
The nose gear strut included with the electric retracts does not let the nose
gear fully retract into the fuselage. Cut, then bend the nose strut so that the
nose wheel extends and retracts freely.
1. Measure
2 inches (51mm)
below the coil, then mark and cut off the
strut (
A
).
2 Measure and mark about
1 inch (25.4mm)
below the coil, then bend the
strut (
B
) to a 15° angle (approximately). Ensure the bend does not angle the
strut left or right or the gear may not steer straight.
3. Install your aircraft’s nose wheel (
C
) on the retract strut (
D
) using an axle
(
E
), axle screws, wheel collar (
F
) and set screw.
Tip:
Use a metal fi le to make fl at spots on both sides of the strut so the axle
screws can be tightened.
