Step 1: Installing the Nose Gear Assembly
❑
Slide the nylon steering arm onto the nose gear wire and
align the hole in the arm with the flat spot (nearest the prebent
coil) that's ground in the front of the wire.
❑
With the steering arm positioned parallel to the axle,
install and tighten the set screw.
❑
Slide one nylon spacer up against the bottom of the
steering arm.
❑
Insert the Z-Bend in the end of the pushrod wire into the
outermost hole
in the steering arm.
IMPORTANT
When installing the Z-Bend, make sure that
the longer portion of the wire is toward the
bottom
of the
steering arm.
❑
Using a modeling knife, cut away and remove the covering material from over the steering pushrod exit hole in the
bottom of the fuselage. The hole is located 3/4" in from the left side of the fuselage and 5/8" behind the firewall.
❑
Slide the plain end of the pushrod wire into the hole while
at the same time sliding the end of the nose gear wire into the
preinstalled nylon steering block.
IMPORTANT
The coil in the nose gear wire should be
toward the
back
of the fuselage.
