Step 8.
Install the landing gear
There should be drilled holes in the landing gear plate under the covering, these should
match up with the holes in the landing gear. Unfortunately the holes are not always there. To
assure perfect alignment use the following procedure. If the holes are not there center the
gear so the holes align with the aluminum
bracket inside. The front edge of the gear
should be back about 1/2 to 3/4 inch from the
front fuselage former edge. Drill one of these
holes through the aluminum bracket and mount
the landing gear with 4mm screws and lock-
nuts. Then use the landing gear as a template
and drill the remaining holes as well and use
4mm screws and locknuts there also. Keep the
front edge of the gear parallel with the front
former.
To mount the wheel pants you simply drill
through the back of the landing gear and through the wood backing plate. Install a 4-40
blind nut in that wood backing plate.
The tail wheel
bracket attaches to
the hardwood plate at
the bottom of the tail
using two wood
screws. Use springs
from the tailwheel
tiller for controlling
the tailwheel. See the
accompanying photo.
