LANDING GEAR & ENGINE MOUNT
❐ Locate the three 4x16mm screws to attach the main landing gear
to the fuselage. It would be a good idea to use a bit of Loctite™ on
these bolts to make sure they do not vibrate loose in flight.
❐ Cut the middle 5 7/16" from the bottom of the cowl mounting ring
to accomodate for the exhaust scoop, then attach the cowl mounting
ring to the fuselage using medium CA.
❐ Using 5 minute epoxy glue the cowl mounting blocks into place.
Be sure that the grain goes with the length of the aircraft or they will split.
❐ Trial fit the landing gear cover onto the bottom of the fuselage and
landing gear. When satisfied with fit, secure with
four 2.3 x 12mm wood screw.
VII. Install the Motor Mount
❐ Locate the motor mount hardware: two motor mounts, four
socket head bolts,and four blind nuts.
❐ Using a 1/4" drill bit, drill four holes in the firewall using the
dimples as a guide.
