• Landing gear bolts (2)
• Phillips screwdriver
• Moto-tool with cut-off wheel
• Threadlock
Step 1.
Attach the axles to the aluminum landing gear using the
lock nuts provided. Slide on the wheel. Use the wheel collar to
hold the wheel on the axle.
Note:
It is always a good idea to use threadlock on the wheel
collar bolts to keep them from coming loose.
Note:
You can use a Moto-tool to cut the extra length off the
axle. Be very careful not to get the axle too hot during
the cutting process or you may melt the wheel hub.
Take it slowly.
Step 2
. Locate the two predrilled mounting holes in the bottom
of the fuselage for mounting the landing gear. The blind nuts are
also preinstalled from inside the fuselage. If the covering is over
the holes, use a sharp hobby knife and carefully remove the
covering over the predrilled holes.
Step 3.
Bolt the landing gear onto the fuselage with the
included hardware. Take a bolt and washer and insert it through
the aluminum landing gear. Thread the mounting bolts into the
preinstalled blind nuts and securely tighten.
Note:
It is a good idea to use threadlock on bolt/nuts.
