Fitting the nose wheel
 Slide the nose wheel into it's support brace and bolt it into place at the three designated
places. Fit the metal tab to the rear of the nose wheel leg and bolt in place.
 Place velcro around the tab area and the bottom of the landing gear leg and place the leg
cover into place on the leg. Use a marker to mark the position of the velcro in the leg
cover and attach the Velcro. Carefully position the cover to the leg and, when happy,
push down on the velcro to seat the landing gear leg.
 Then fit the sealing strip to the back of the gear leg, it will go on easy except where it has
to go over the tab. Here you will need to tap it lightly with a hammer to get it to sit
properly. Be sure to have the landing leg cover in the correct position because if it is
offset it will act like a big trim tab and yaw the aircraft.
 Make sure to install the joining (trim) strip on the rear of the landing gear leg cover
