Parts Needed

• Fuselage
• Landing gear axles with lock nuts (2)
• Wheel collar with screw (2)

Tools and Adhesives Needed
• Felt-tipped pen or pencil
• Hobby knife
• Round file
• Drill
• Drill Bit: 5/32"
• Phillips screwdriver
• Threadlock
Note: The main landing gear is made up of two landing
gear sections. Instructions for mounting the wheel pants
will be provided in Section 11.
Step 1. Attach the axles to the aluminum landing gear using the
lock nuts provided. The wheels will be mounted when the wheel
pants are installed.
Note: It’s always a good idea to use threadlock on the
wheel collar bolts to keep them from coming loose.
Step 2. Locate the six predrilled mounting holes in the bottom
of the fuselage for mounting the landing gear. The blind nuts are
preinstalled from inside the fuselage. If the covering is over the
holes, use a sharp hobby knife and carefully remove the covering
over the pre-drilled holes.
Step 3. Bolt the landing gear onto the fuselage with the
included hardware. Take a bolt and washer and insert it
through the aluminum landing gear and holes in hatch.
Thread the mounting bolts into the preinstalled blind nuts
and securely tighten.
Note: It’s a good idea to use threadlock on bolt/nuts.
