Modification of the landing gear for the aircraft with a nose wheel:
Aircraft with a nose wheel have a different way to run the brake lines and it is necessary to
make modification to the tops of the landing gear legs. Normally the brake lines come from the
brakes and travel up the inside of the legs and enter into the cabin. If the aircraft has a nose
wheel, it is necessary to modify the exit hole so the line actually travels the normal route, goes
back into the landing gear leg and exits on the bottom where it then enters the cabin on the
front side of the leg.
 Drill a hole at a 45 degree angle directly beside pre-drilled hole located on top of the
undercarriage's legs. Do the same for the other side. Check to make sure no sharp
edges remain.
