.
4. Ensure the wheels move freely in and out of the wheel wells when extend-
ing and retracting, then tighten the axle screws on the struts.
Tip:
Use a metal fi le to make fl at spots on both sides of the strut so the axle
screws can be tightened.
Tip:
Apply a small amount of threadlock to the axle screws and set screws in
the wheel collars to keep the wheels on the struts.
Installing Retractable Main Gear
1. Where installed, remove 8 screws (

) from
the wing.
2. Install the main retracts (
J
) in the wing using the 8 screws removed from
the landing gear doors.
3. Connect the main retracts to the gear harness extensions (

in
the fuselage.
Tip:
If desired for scale appearance, install the left and right main gear
doors (
