Step 1: Installing the Main Gear Strut
❑
Install the main gear strut to the bottom of the fuselage,
using two M3 x 10 wood screws.
IMPORTANT
The front of the strut is angled and the back
of the strut is straight. Make sure that the back of the strut
(straight edge) is toward the back of the fuselage.
Step 2: Installing the Wheels & Wheel Pants
❑
Slide one main gear wheel onto one M3 x 25 machine
screw.
❑
Thread one M3 hex nut onto the screw and up against
the wheel, but don't tighten the nut. The wheel should be
able to spin freely.
❑
Very carefully apply one or two drops of thin C/A to the
hex nut to lock it into place, being careful not to get any C/A
between the machine screw and the wheel. Allow the C/A to
fully cure before proceeding.
❑
After the C/A has fully cured, thread a second M3 hex nut
onto the machine screw and gently tighten it against the first
hex nut.
❑
Slide the axle assembly through the hole in the main gear
strut and secure it into place using one M3 lock nut.
IMPORTANT
When tightening the lock nut, hold the
machine screw steady; don't hold the hex nuts.
