❏
1. File a flat spot in both main landing gear wires where
shown in the photo.
❏
2. Mount both landing gears to the wings–drill 3/32" [2.4
mm] holes for the #4 x 5/8" [16 mm] screws that hold down
the flat straps. Don’t forget to harden the holes for the screws
with thin CA after installing, then removing the screws.
❏
3. Temporarily place the wheel pants and the wheels on
the landing gear. Then, mount the wings to the fuselage and
set the model on its gear. The end of the “axle” portion of the
gear should key into the hole in the plywood disc on the
other side of the pant.
❏
4. With the plane sitting on its main wheels and tail
wheel, use a block of balsa or something similar to prop up
one of the wheel pants 5/8" [16 mm].
❏
5. Fit two mounting straps over the gear. Mark the hole
locations in the straps into the wheel pant–we used our
Great Planes Dead Center
™ Engine Mount Hole Locator
(GPMR8130) to mark the holes.
❏
6. Prop up the other wheel pant and mark the strap hole
locations the same way.
❏
7. Return the plane to your building stand upside-down
and remove the wings. Remove the wheel pants and drill
1/8" [3.2 mm] holes through the pants at each of the marks
for the screw holes in the straps.
