Install the retract unit and trial fit the strut
and wheel. Bend the wire strut as shown by
around 15-20° to get slightly trailing retract
struts.
Align the wheels to run straight and mark
the position of the grub screw. File a flat
spot at the grub screw position. Repeat the
same with the wheel collar to securely fix
the wheel to the wire strut.
The following steps should only be performed
if necessary
. Some builders might find a small
gap between wing and fuselage, which can
easily be closed to enhance the planes looks.
Tape the servo wires securely to the wing and
cover the top surface with glad wrap plastic
foil. This will create a non stick surface for the
filler.
Use tape inside the fuselage to create a
boundary line as shown. This will
prevent the filler from running inside
the fuselage.
Mix 30 minute Epoxy with Micro
Balloons until the epoxy forms a thick
paste with similar consistency as
Toothpaste. Apply a thick rope to area
marked gray in the above picture.
Stay
clear of the mounting holes.
