❑
Working with one landing gear wire for now, position two
nylon straps over the landing gear wire, equal distances from
each end of the wire.
❑
While holding the nylon straps in place, use a pencil to mark
the locations of the mounting screws onto the wing.

Make sure that the nylon landing gear
straps are centered over the landing gear wire when you
mark the positions of the mounting screw holes.
❑
Remove the nylon landing gear straps and drill four 5/64"
diameter pilot holes into the wing, being careful not to drill through
the top of the wing.
❑
Carefully install the nylon landing gear straps, using four
M3 x 12mm wood screws.
❑
Repeat the previous procedures to install the second
landing gear wire into the wing.
STEP 2: INSTALLING THE MAIN GEAR WHEELS
❑
Slide one nylon spacer onto each axle, followed by one
main gear wheel. The recessed side of the wheel should be
toward the nylon spacer.
❑
Secure each wheel into place, using one wheel collar and
one M3 x 5mm machine screw, double-checking that the wheels
spin without binding.

We suggest applying a drop of Blue
Threadlocker to the machine screws before installing them,
to prevent them from loosening during use.
STEP 3: INSTALLING THE NOSE GEAR ASSEMBLY
❑
Insert the Z-Bend in the end of the 29" long pushrod wire
into the
outermost hole
in the nylon steering arm.

When installing the Z-Bend, make sure
that the longer portion of the wire is toward the
bottom
of
the steering arm, as shown. It's important that your nylon
steering arm/pushrod assembly is orientated as shown in
the photo.
❑
Partially thread one M3 x 5mm machine screw into the nylon steering arm.
