Section 10: Installing the Main Landing Gear
1. Locate the main landing gear slot located in the bottom of the
fuselage by running your hand along the underside of the
fuselage. The slot is located approximately 12′′ back from the
edge of the engine firewall. Using a sharp hobby knife, remove
the covering from the slot.
2. Mix a small amount, approximately 1/8 oz., of 6-minute
epoxy. Using an epoxy brush, lightly coat the exposed wood in
the slot to prevent it from becoming fuel soaked.
3. After the epoxy has cured, locate the two main landing gear
struts and insert them into the landing gear slots as shown.
Make sure the ends fit into the holes in the edges of the slot.
4. Remove the two landing gear straps from the plastic parts tree
and place them across the landing gear struts so they are evenly
spaced on the landing gear. Using a felt tipped pen, mark the
location of the two landing gear mounting strap holes.
