Glue the landing gear struts to the landing gear wire. Only glue to the fuselage and partway down
the leg or the strut will break off in a hard landing when the gear flexes.

!

Cut a 1” piece of .025” music wire and glue it to the end of a wing strut so that it extends past the
wing by ¼”. Use a pin to poke a hole in the fuselage about ¼” behind the landing gear strut and
1/8” up from the bottom of the fuselage. With the wing in place, place the wire end of the wing
strut in the hole you just made in the fuselage.

You will NOT glue the strut to the fuselage

.

Mark on the wing where the strut ends. Clear away a bit of covering and glue the strut to the
wing. To remove the wing from the fuselage, you will bend the strut so that it pulls away from the
fuselage.

Glue the windshield in place with thin CA. The smooth side of the plastic should be out.
