❏ 7. Since the aileron servo wires already have
extensions on them, they only require a short Y-connector such as the Futaba
®
dual extension cord
(FUTM4130). Longer wires are needed for the flap servos, so a Hobbico
®
Y-connector (HCAM2751) was
used there. Secure the connections with a small piece of heat shrink tubing included with this kit.
❏ 8. Cut the covering from the holes in the top and
bottom of the wing for the nylon wing bolts.
The radiator air scoop and wing fairing will be
attached later.
If you’ve installed retracts, proceed to “ASSEMBLE THE FUSELAGE” on page 19. Install the fixed landing gear ❏ F1. Use a rotary tool with a cutoff wheel or a metal
file to grind a flat spot near the end of both prebent main landing gear wires for the set screw in the outer wheel collar that holds the wheels on.
❏ F2. The same as the covering was cut from the
aileron hatches, cut the covering from the landing gear openings 1/4" [5mm] inside the edges all the way around the openings. Use a trim iron to iron down the covering.
❏ F3. Place both fixed landing gear mounts on the
landing gear rails. The mounts are the same, but the part with the straps goes toward the leading edge of the wing. Using the holes in the mounts as a guide, drill six 7/64" [2.8mm] (or 1/8" [3.2mm]) holes into the rails.
❏ F4. Mount each main landing gear wire in the landing gear mount with two metal straps and four 3 x 10mm screws. Fasten the landing gear mounts to the rails with six #6 x 1/2" [13mm] screws. ❏ F5. Mount the wheels to the landing gear with a wheel collar on both sides of both wheels. Use a small drop of thread locking compound on all the set screws and make sure the set screw in the outer wheel collars that hold on the wheels is keyed into the flat spots. Use the included 1.5mm wrench to tighten the set screws. ❏ F6. Refer to steps R1 and R2 on page 14 to fit and
install the plywood landing gear covers.
The radiator air scoop and wing fairing will be
attached later.
