q
Place the main landing gear bracket onto the bottom of the fuselage. The
front of the landing gear bracket (the smaller diameter wire) should be positioned
4" (102mm) behind the firewall (measured at the centre of the firewall) and the
landing gear bracket should be centred between the fuselage sides.
IMPORTANT
The firewall has right thrust built into it, so make sure to take
the measurement from the centre of the firewall.
q
Position four nylon mounting brackets over the landing gear wires. Centre
each nylon mounting bracket between the main landing gear legs and the centre
support structure.
q
While holding the nylon mounting brackets and the main landing gear bracket
in place, mark the locations of the mounting screws onto the fuselage.
q
Drill eight 5/64" (2mm) diameter pilot holes through the fuselage at the
marks you drew, then install the four nylon mounting brackets, using eight
M3 x 12mm wood screws, to hold the main landing gear bracket in place.

q
Push one nylon spacer completely onto each axle.
q
Slide one main gear wheel onto each axle and secure the wheels into place,
using one wheel collar and one M3 x 5mm machine screw.
+
Tighten the machine screws firmly, then double-check that both wheels
spin freely.
q
Loop a single # 64 or similar rubber band (not included) several times around
the two hooks on the main landing gear bracket.
+
The rubber band will act as a shock absorber for the landing gear.
q
Connect your radio system and check that the throttle servo output shaft is rotating in the correct direction, then position the throttle
control stick and the throttle trim lever to their lowest positions.
q
Slide the adjustable pushrod connector assembly onto the pushrod wire,
then install the servo horn onto the servo, making sure that the servo horn is
angled approximately 30 degrees from centre.
q
While holding the carburetor fully closed, install and tighten the machine
screw in the top of the adjustable pushrod connector.
q
Cut away the excess pushrod wire, then install and tighten the servo horn
retaining screw to hold the servo horn securely to the servo.
q
Open and close the throttle several times to ensure that the carburetor opens and closes completely and without binding or hitting
the side of the fuel tank. You may need to adjust your transmitter EPA settings to achieve perfect settings.

Install the elevator and rudder servos into the sides of the servo tray, making sure
to drill 1/16" (1.6mm) diameter pilot holes for the servo mounting screws.
IMPORTANT
Note the orientation of the servos. When installed, both servo
output shafts should be toward the back of the fuselage.
q
Cut away the covering material from over the elevator pushrod exit hole in
the right side of the fuselage. The pushrod exit hole is located 2" (50mm) in
front of the rudder hinge line and 5/8" (16mm) below the stabiliser.
