1) Locate the two pre-bent Main Gear Wires and the pre-bent
Nose Gear Wire. Inspect the ends of all the wires for burrs. If any
are found, use a file or sandpaper to remove them.

2) Press a 4.5mm id Plastic Wheel Spacer onto the axle portion of
the one of the Main Gear Wires. Slide it all the way along the axle,
and up tight against the bend in the wire. Then install a 3" dia.
Main Wheel and a 4.5mm id Wheel Collar on the axle as shown.
Tighten the wheel collar Set Screw firmly. Make sure the wheel
turns freely after you tighten the wheel collar. Repeat the process
to make a second Main Gear Wire assembly.

3) Fit the Main Gear Wires into the grooved block in the bottom of
the Fuselage. Holes have been pre-drilled in the block to receive
the short upper arm of the gear wires. Push the wires down tight
into the groove. NOTE: If the wire doesn't want to fit completely
down into the groove of the landing gear block, it may be 
necessary to remove a little material from the inside edge of the
hole to allow for the radius of the bend in the wire. Do this with a
round file or modeling knife.

4) Place the two nylon Landing Gear Straps over the Main Gear
Wires as shown in the picture. Mark, then drill four 1/16" pilot holes
for the screws. Use four M3 x 10mm Screws to mount the straps.

5) Install a Plastic Wheel Spacer, the 2-3/4" dia. Nose Wheel and
a 4mm Wheel Collar on the axle of the Nose Gear Wire. Make sure
the wheel turns freely.

6) Bolt the nylon Nose Gear Bearing in place on the front of the
firewall using the four M3 x 14mm Bolts and M3 Flat Metal
Washers provided. Note that M3 Blind Nuts are pre-mounted in
the back of the firewall for the Nose Gear Bearing. Use thread
locking compound on the bolts to keep them securely in place.

7) Hold the Steering Arm in position in the Nose Gear Bearing
while you insert the top end of the Nose Gear Wire up through the
holes in the bearing and steering arm. Push the wire in until the
top of the wire is flush with the top of the nose gear bearing. Snug
up the set screw in the Steering Arm just enough to get a slight grip
on the Nose Gear Wire (keep it loose enough that you can adjust
the steering arm position in the next step).
