Step 9

Attach the landing gear to the fuselage using four landing

gear straps and eight 3mm x 10mm sheet metal screws

and a #2 Phillips screwdriver.

Step 10

Use sandpaper to roughen the wire so the epoxy will have

a rough surface to bond to.

Step 11

Apply a small amount of petroleum jelly to the top and

bottom of the tail gear bushing. Work the jelly into the

bushing to prevent epoxy from entering the bushing and

locking the tail gear wire.

Step 12

Use 30-minute epoxy to glue the tail gear bushing into

the fuselage. Make sure the bushing is pressed tight in

the fuselage, and has been slid down toward the bottom

of the fuselage as far as possible.
