D 10. Insert an 8-32 x 1-1/2" socket head cap screw
through one of your wheels (If the hole is too small, drill the
wheel hub with an 11/64" drill bit). Slide on one #8 flat
washer and screw on two #8 hex nuts. Tighten the two nuts
against each other to lock, providing just enough space for the
wheel to turn freely.
D 11. Work the wheel/axle assembly into the pant, with
the socket head cap screw protruding out of the hole. Check
to see if the wheel is centered in the pant. If not, add or
remove a #8 flat washer, as necessary, to center the wheel.

D 12. Attach the axle to the aluminum landing gear with
another 8x32 hex nut. Check the pant alignment carefully,
then drill a 5/64" hole through the aluminum landing gear and
the wheel pant at the locking screw location. Remove the
wheel pant and re-drill the hole in the aluminum LG only with
a 1/8" drill bit. Later, when permanently installing the pants,
lock them with a #4 x 3/8" sheet metal screw.
D 13. Sand the entire outside surface of the pants lightly
with 320-grit sandpaper.
D 14. Spray on a coat of primer, then sand smooth.
D 15. Paint the wheel pants with white fuel proof paint, and
trim with decals provided.
D 1. Using an Xacto knife or a Dremel Moto Tool with a
pointed bit, carefully cut out the three openings in the cowl for
air intake and the engine thrust washer.
D 2. Scribe around the base of the cowl several times with
a large nail or spike, then fold and break off the flange. (This
provides a little extra material at the base, which can be
trimmed off as you custom fit the cowl).
D 3. By trial and error, cut openings in the cowl for the
engine head, needle valve and exhaust pipes. Allow approxi-
mately 1/8" clearance all around the engine head for cooling
