Landing Gear (continued)
46.
Fit part LG7 to the notch in LG6
below
the front struts. View the assembly from the
front
, ensuring
that LG7 is 90 degrees to the center line of the fuselage, and that the gap between LG1 and LG7 is
equal on both sides. Bond LG7 to gear assembly with medium CA glue. Remove, do not bond, the
assembly to the fuselage. If desired, paint the landing gear assembly, we chose dark brown.
47.
Wheels.
Locate four wheel hub parts W (sheet 09/09, 1/16 in. ply) and paint them a suitable color,
we chose silver.
48.
Press one hub part W onto a 1/16 in. x 1/4 in. aluminum tube, Then press on one of the nylon
wheels supplied in your kit, and another hub part W. Center the tube in the assembly so that an
equal amount extends from each side of the wheel. Wick a small drop of medium CA where the
tube exits the hub on both sides of the wheel. Repeat this step to build the other wheel.
49.
Wheel Installation.
Locate the .032 in. x 12 in. wire supplied in your kit and cut to 4 in. in length.
50.
Place a #11 hobby knife at the mid point of a length of 1/16 in. x 1/4 in. aluminum tube. Gently
roll the tube under the blade of the knife to score the tubing. Snap the scored tubing into two equal
lengths of 1/8 in.
