inSTALLinG THE opTionAL RETRAcTABLE LAndinG GEAR
q
Install the two main gear struts into two retracts, making sure that the
struts are lined up straight and that the scissor links are toward the back of
the retracts. Tighten the large socket-cap screw and the small grub screw in
the side of each retract to lock the struts firmly into place.
q
Install one axle into each main gear strut, making sure to make one right
and one left assembly.
q
Install one retract assembly onto the landing gear mounting rails in each
nacelle, using the eight large wood screws provided. Notice that the air
cylinders are positioned toward the front of the nacelles and that the scissor
links are toward the back of the nacelles.

q
Install the nose gear strut into the remaining retract, making sure that the
nose gear strut is pushed down firmly and that the scissor link is toward the
rear of the retract . Tighten the large socket-cap screw against the nose gear
strut, then back it off slightly. The nose gear strut should be held in place
securely, yet be able to rotate smoothly.
q
Install the retract assembly onto the landing gear mounting rails in the
fuselage, using the four large wood screws provided.
q
Install the nose gear wheel, using the wheel collar and grub screw provided, then install the pull-pull steering cables by following
the procedures in step 6 on pages -2.
IMPORTANT Notice that the axle strut hubs are offset so that when the wheels are installed, they won't hit the side of the struts.
Make sure to install the axles toward the offset side of the strut hubs.
IMPORTANT Make sure to use the wheels and the wheel collars packaged with the retractable landing gear and not the ones
included with the aircraft kit. The aircraft kit wheels and wheel collars will not fit the retract axles.
IMPORTANT Since you can't tighten the socket-cap screw up against the nose gear strut, we suggest applying threadlock to the
socket-cap screw to keep it from vibrating out during flight.
q
Install the two main gear wheels, using the two wheel collars and two grub screws provided.
+
Do not tighten the grub screw in the side of the retract. The grub screw should be flush with the side of the strut mounting block,
though, so that it won't cause interference when the retract is retracted.
