4. Installing them from the left side, glue two more
supports into the slots in the fuselage. Note that these first
two supports should be positioned forward in the slots, and
that the holes in the supports should be angled downward
and outward (again, to accommodate the angles of the
landing gear and the struts).
❏
5. Glue the remaining two supports into the right side of
the fuselage. Be certain that the holes are angled correctly.
❏
6. Slide the 2 x 190mm [5/64" x 7-1/2"] landing gear
legs through the landing gear supports in the front of the
wing and fuselage. Ensure that the wing is parallel with the
stab and horizontal fuselage and perpendicular to the
vertical fuselage. Once you are satisfied with alignment,
secure the landing gear legs with a drop of glue on both
sides of each joint.
❏
7. Slide the 2 x 71mm [5/64" x 2-3/4"] wing struts through
both sets of supports on the back of the wing and fuselage.
Make sure that the TE of the wing is aligned with the LE, and
secure the struts with a drop of glue on both sides of each joint.
❏
8. Snap the ailerons onto the wing trailing edge tube.
❏
1. Install a 2 x 17mm [5/64" x 5/8"] axle and D1 axle
support onto each landing gear leg. Position the axles so
that they are perpendicular to the centerline. Secure the
axles and supports with a drop of glue through the holes in
both sides of the axle supports.
