g)
After crossing the wires once, slide a crimp tube onto one of the
wires, thread the wire through the brass rigging coupler and pull
the wire snug. Using a needle-nosed pliers, pinch the wire
against the rigging coupler to mark the wire.
h)
Remove the metal clevis from the rudder control horn and
double servo arm – this will allow you to pull the wire and
rigging coupler forward enough to work with it inside the
fuselage.
i)
While keeping the wire located at the marked position, loop the
wire through the crimp tube and secure it by crimping the tube.
j)
Repeat steps g) through i) for the second pull-pull wire. At this
point, all four metal clevises can be connected – two to the
rudder control horns and two to the servo arm. The wires might
be slightly loose, and can be tightened by turning the brass
rigging couplers into the metal clevises. When the wires are
tight (snug, but not like guitar strings), tighten the M3 nuts
against the metal clevises on all four rigging couplers.
INSTALL THE LANDING GEAR
In addition to the fuselage, locate the following parts from the kit
contents:
(1) Carbon Fiber Main Landing Gear
(3) M4 x 20 mm Socket-Head Bolts
(3) M4 Split-Ring Lock Washers
(2) 2.5" dia. Main Wheels
(2) M4 x 48 mm Axles
(4) M4 Nuts; for axles
(4) 4 mm ID Wheels Collars; for axles
(1) Right Fiberglass Wheel Pant
(1) Left Fiberglass Wheel Pant
(4) M3 x 10 mm Socket-Head Bolts
NOTE: We suggest you use blue thread locking liquid (like
Locktite
®
) on all bolts and nuts used in the assembly of the landing
gear.

11) Assemble and install the main landing gear.
a)
Slide the threaded portion of the axle into the large hole of the
landing gear leg and secure it with an M4 nut on each side.
Apply a drop of blue thread locking compound to each nut
before tightening them. When tightening the nut , keep the
flats of the hex nut on the axle side of the gear leg parallel
to the front edge of the leg - see photo. This allows the hex
nut to fit inside the narrow notch in the wheel pants when they
are added later.
b)
Slide a 4mm wheel collar onto the axle shaft, leaving 1/16”
space between the axle nut and the wheel collar. Tighten the
wheel collar set screw securely.
c)
Slide the wheel on the axle and test to make sure it spins
freely on the axle. If it does not turn freely, drill out the
plastic hub of the wheel with an 11/64" or #17 drill bit.
d)
Slide a second wheel collar onto the axle and up to the wheel.
Leave a small gap between it and the wheel, so the wheel will
turn freely, and then tighten the wheel collar set screw.
e)
Check the orientation of the landing gear to make sure you know
which way is forward. The two outer holes for mounting the gear
to the fuselage go to the front. Then test fit the wheel pants over
the wheels and line up the predrilled mounting holes. Secure the
wheel pants in place with two M3 x 10mm button head machine
screws for each pant. (You may need to clean a little paint out
of the blind nuts inside the wheel pants in order to start the
mounting bolts. A #11 hobby knife works well for this.) (See
