INSTALL THE NOSE GEAR
1. Trim the covering from the nose gear exit at the front
underside of the fuselage.
2. Push a 3mm blind nut into the back of each nose gear

them around 180 degrees. Install the bearing block halves
onto the fi rewall using four 3x12mm washer head machine
screws and thread locking compound.
4. Fit the nylon steering arm between the two nose gear
bearing block halves. Slide the nose gear wire up through
the bearing blocks and the steering arm. Square the axle of
the nose gear wire with the length of the fuselage. Rotate
the steering arm so it is approximately 20 degrees to the
fi rewall as shown. Mark the location of the threaded hole in
the steering arm onto the nose gear wire.
5. Remove the nose gear wire from the bearing blocks. As
