Now insert the undercarriage leg in the channel prior to marking the position of the
two saddle clamps. Place the clamps and the undercarriage fairing on the wing as
shown in the photo.
Drill pilot-holes in the wings to suit the retaining screws, then screw the clamps and
the wheel fairing support block to the wing.
You will need to file away the inside of the two wheel fairings to provide clearance for
the wire undercarriage units. Note that the convex side of the wheel fairings must
face outwards. The wheels can now be attached to the axles using collets and grub-
screws. Apply UHU thread-lock fluid to the grubscrews to prevent them working
loose.
The wheels and wheel fairings must be aligned exactly parallel with the fuselage cen-
treline.
Use your fingertips to locate the holes for the wing retainer screws in the wing root
area, and remove the covering film over them using the tip of a hot soldering iron.
The final stage on the wings is to glue the GRP wingtips to the tip ribs using UHU
Holzleim express, Order No. 958.60. Tape the tips in place as shown in the photo, to
prevent them shifting while the glue is hardening.
