Step 5. Locate the axle, lock nut, wheel, and two wheel collars.

Mount both axles to the landing gear using the large lock nuts.

Step 6. The wheel pant can be trial fitted to the landing

gear/axle. You may need to open up the large axle hole a bit with

a round file, due to epoxy seeping into the opening Adjust the

wheel pant in reference to the bottom of the fuselage so the

bottom of the wheel pant is parallel to the bottom of the fuselage.

When you’re satisfied with the relationship, mark the small hole

openings onto the wheel pant. This mark can be made by pass-

ing a small drill bit through the holes and marking the surface of

the wheel pant. Remove the wheel pant and drill 3/32" holes in

the wheel pant as marked.

Step 7. Repeat Step 9 for the other wheel pant.

Step 8. Epoxy the two 4-40 blind nuts into the small holes

drilled in the wheel pant /plywood brace inside the wheel pant.

Allow the epoxy to cure completely before attempting to tighten the

bolt down.

Step 9. Mount the wheel pant to the axle and screw in the two

4-40 bolts into the small holes above and below the axle, so that

they screw into the blind nut. Before tightening the 4-40 bolts,

slide on a wheel collar, the wheel and another wheel collar onto

the axle.

Step 10. Tighten down the two 4-40 bolts to secure the wheel

pant to the landing gear. Position the wheel in the center of the

wheel pant opening, and retain it there by positioning the two

wheel collars (on either side of the wheel) so that the wheel is

kept in the center of the wheel pant opening. Tighten both wheel

collar screws snugly once the wheel is properly positioned.

Repeat for the other wheel.

Note: A drop of locktite Z-42 on the wheel collar

screws will help keep them from coming lose during

operation. Repeat the process for the other wheel.
