Section 10: Installing the Main Landing GearParts Needed• Fuselage• Main landing gear• Mounting hardwareTools and Adhesives Needed• Hobby knife with #11 blade• Phillips screwdriver• Felt-tipped pen or pencil• Locktite ® Z-42Step 1. Locate the three mounting holes for the landing gear onthe forward part of the bottom of the fuselage. Look carefully asthe covering may make it difficult to find them. The blind nuts arealready mounted inside the fuselage. Use a hobby knife andremove the covering from the mounting holes.Step 3. Using the hardware provided, mount the main landinggear to the fuselage. Apply Locktite Z-42 to the threads of thescrews to help secure them to the blind nuts in the fuselage.Step 2. Trial fit the aluminum main landing gear over the holesin the fuselage.26
Section 11: Assembling and Mountingthe Wheel PantsParts Needed• Wheel pants• Wheels (2)• Main landing gear• Mounting hardware packageTools and Adhesives Needed• Ruler• Phillips screwdriver• Drill bits: 1/4'', 3/32'', 1/8'', 1/2''• Drill• 30-minute epoxy• Epoxy brush• Mixing stick• Rubbing alcohol• Paper towel• Round file (fine)• Sandpaper (medium)• Felt-tipped pen orpencilStep 1. Locate the two wheel pants and associated hardware,including the two 1 1 /8'' square plywood pieces that go inside thewheel pants. Slide one wheel onto an axle and position them sothey are centered over the wheel opening in one of the wheelpants. Use a felt-tipped pen or pencil to mark the center locationof the wheel on each of the wheel pants. This mark will be usedas the reference point for marking the mounting holes for thelanding gear on the wheel pant.Note: It is sometimes helpful to remove the main landinggear from the fuselage to make these markings andadjustments called for in the following steps.Step 3. Trial fit the wheel pant on the landing gear and note thelocation of the main axle. Note the aluminum landing gear has alarge hole (for the axle) and a smaller hole above it. This smallerhole will be used to secure the wheel pant in the proper positionrelative to the fuselage. Do not mark the small hole yet.Step 4. Drill the main axle hole using a 1/2'' drill bit. It ishelpful to start with a 1/8'' pilot hole first. Once the hole is drilled,trial fit the axle to the opening again. You may have to enlargethe hole further. Use a fine round file to make final adjustmentsto the opening. Repeat the process for the other wheel pant. Besure to drill on the opposite side of the other wheel pant.Step 2. Locate the hole for the wheel axle 5/8'' measured upfrom the bottom of the wheel pant centered on the mark madein Step 1. Mark with a felt-tipped pen or pencil. Repeat the procedurefor the other wheel pant. Notice which side of the wheelpant goes against the landing gear before making your mark.Step 5. Locate the two plywood square pieces included with thewheel pants. These will be epoxied inside the wheel pants as areinforcement for mounting the wheel pant to the landing gear.Using the landing gear as a template, mark the plywood squares:one for the large axle hole and the other small hole that will beused by the 4-40 bolt and blind nut to hold the wheel pant inposition.27
