First you’ll need to nock out
the plywood opening the
canister tunnel. Use a hobby
knife on the small area not
already cut with a laser and
lightly tap it out with a small
hammer.
Install the landing gear to the
fuselage using the four 8/32
bolts, spring washers,
and flat washers, and
compression nuts.
Secure the cuff into
place: put a thick
bead of silicone (not
included) in the main
gear where the
narrow end of the cuffs meets the main gear. Slide the cuffs up until they gently meet the fuse (it is best
to leave a 1/16” gap, so the cuffs don’t quite touch the fuse, so the cuffs do not damage the belly when
the gear flexes). Wipe off possible silicone excess and let cure.
Now let’s get the tail wheel assembly installed.
Once the mains are on, find the pre-drilled hole for the tail wheel assembly. Insert the tail wheel
assembly and lightly tap in flush with a small hammer.
Next, mark the hold down locations, drill and mount them with the four wood screws securing the tail
wheel assembly. Remove the wood screws and coat the holes with thin CA, let dry, reinstall.
Install the steel tiller horn just behind the hinge line on the bottom of the rudder using the two small
wood screws.
