#2 x 3/8" sheet metal screws provided. Do not over-tighten the
screws, just snug them in place.
WHEEL PANTS:
❑
1) Position the wheel pants in place onto the wire landing gear
axles. Note that the inside faces of the pants - the sides facing the
fuselage - can be identified by looking inside and observing the
plywood mounting pads. Correctly in place, these pads should be
located against the upright landing gear wire. From your parts bag,
locate the two nylon landing gear clips and four #2 x 1/4" screws.
❑
2) The wheel pants must first be correctly aligned to the
landing gear wire and the fuselage, before mounting. This is done
by slipping the wheel pants in place over the landing gear wires -
without installing the wheels - and then propping the rear of the
fuselage up 3" off of a flat surface. This provides the correct side
view alignment for mounting the wheel pants.
❑
3) Press one of the nylon landing gear clips onto the upright
wire leg of the landing gear, immediately next to the wheel pant.
Slide the clip up or down on the wire until the boltholes are
approximately 3/8" above the axle hole. Use a sharp pencil to
mark the clip's two bolthole centers onto the wheel pant. After
making these marks, remove the wheel pants from their axles.
Use a pin vise and a .046" dia. drill bit (#56 numbered drill) to drill
guide holes through the wheel pants and the inside plywood pads,
at the marks just made.
❑
4) Slip a wheel pant onto its appropriate axle and then insert
one of the wheels into the pant and onto the axle.
Continue
pushing the axle through the wheel hub and through the outer
wheel pant hole. Mount the pant and wheel to the landing gear
using the #2 screws through the clip and into the pre-drilled holes
on the side of the pant. Do not over-tighten the screws, just snug
them in place. Repeat this process for the remaining pant and
wheel. Test the wheel pant/wheel relationship, making sure that
the wheels roll freely with little or no friction. Adjust as needed to
achieve free movement.
MOUNTING THE TAIL GROUP:
❑
1) From the kit contents, locate the bags containing the
horizontal stabilizer and elevators and the vertical fin and rudder.
Also locate the two plywood control horns. Note that the elevators
