Section 2: Installing the Main Landing
Gear/Wing Hold-Down Dowels
Step 1
Locate the two landing gear wires, two nylon landing gear straps
and the four 3mm x 10mm sheet metal screws. The wheels have
already been installed for you. On the bottom of the fuselage, you
will find a groove with a hole near each side of the fuselage to
accept the landing gear wire. The landing gear wire slides into the
hole and lies across the bottom of the fuselage. Install both landing
gear wires.
Step 2
With the landing gear wires installed, secure them to the fuselage
using the two nylon landing gear straps and four 3mm x 10mm
sheet metal screws. The straps lay across the wires and the
screws go into the predrilled holes on the bottom of the fuselage.
Step 3
Locate the two wing hold-down dowels and, using a twisting
motion, carefully insert one into each of the two holes located in
the fuselage. The dowels should be positioned so an equal
amount protrudes from each side of the fuselage.
Step 1
Mount landing gear to
fuselage with the two
straps and four screws.
