Section 9 – Landing Gear Installation
Required Parts
• Fuselage
• Main landing gear
• Wheel (2)
• Wheel pant (left and right)
Step 1
Install the axles in the landing gear. Secure the
axles using an adjustable wrench and the nuts
provided with the axles.
Step 3
When the epoxy is cured, work each hinge throughout its full motion several times using your hands.
This will break free any epoxy that may have found its way into the hinge joint. Move the hinge
throughout its full travel until no resistance is felt.
Step 4
Mix some 30-minute epoxy. Place a sufficient amount of epoxy in each of the hinge pockets in one
wing panel.
Step 5
Carefully attach the aileron to the wing, making sure the
hinges are inserted in their respective hinge pockets.
Press the aileron and wing together until the hinge line
gap between the aileron and wing is small enough. Use a
paper towel and rubbing alcohol to wipe away any visible
epoxy around the hinges.
Step 6
Double-check the hinge gap and allow the epoxy to fully cure for enough time. Now is a good time to
repeat Steps 1 through 5 for the remaining wing panel and aileron.
Step 7
When fully cured, move each control surface throughout its travel range several times to break away
any epoxy in the hinge. Be sure to deflect the surface fully.
Note: It’s a good idea to seal the aileron and elevator hinge lines airtight with a piece of
covering to prevent flutter after you finish hinges installation.
Required Parts
• Control horn linkages (2)
Section 4 – Aileron Linkage Installation
Step 1
Screw the molded swivel link with linkage onto the
control horn screw until the distance from the aileron
surface to the top of the link is 28mm (1 1/8”).

Step 3
Remove the bracket and drill pilot holes at the
previously marked positions.
Step 4
Assemble the tail wheel bracket and use provided
screws to secure the bracket in place. A hardwood
plate is positioned in the rear of the fuselage,
allowing these screws to be firmly tightened.
Hint: Remove the screws and wick thin CA into
the holes to strengthen the threads. Then,
reinstall the screws.
Step 5
Using the provided springs, hook up the tiller arm
to the rudder with the tail wheel.
