Locate the carbon fiber landing gear. Note that it
has a front and a rear, it is designed to sweep for-
ward toward the nose of the airplane. Locate the
Main Landing gear hardware pack.
Attach the landing gear to the fuselage using the
4mm screws, washers and nyloc nuts. You will need
to use pliers to hold the nyloc nuts inside the fuse-
lage as you tighten the screws.
The landing gear-to-fuselage fairings are attached
to the landing gear and fuselage with Shoe-Goo
type silicone adhesive. First, slide the fairings onto
the gear, and check for fit to determine the front and
rear.
Place a large dollop of goo-adhesive onto the gear
leg as shown, then slide the fairings into the gear
legs. The Goo will fill up the end of the fairings.
Place an additional dollop of Goo where the fairings
contact the fuselage. Allow the Goo to dry while you
install the wheels and wheel pants.
Locate the main wheels, the main wheels hardware
pack, and the wheel pants hardware pack.
Attach the axles to the carbon landing gear wth
washers and nyloc nuts as shown.
Slide wheel collars onto the axles, then the main
wheels, then outer wheel collars. The wheel collars
locate the wheels on the axles, when you install the
pants you will need to fine-tune the location of the
wheels. Apply a drop of loctite to the set screws in
the wheel collars and tighten them.

Trial-fit the wheel pants onto the landing gear as
shown. To get the pants to fit on properly, you will
need to align the wheel axle so that the opening
in the pant slides smoothly over it, and the wheel
collars so that the wheel is centered in the pant.
Holding the pant level, mark the pant through the
hole indicated
Drill the wheel pant on the mark you made as
shown. Start with a 1/8” (3mm) bit.
