3. Partially insert the landing gear into the wing.
Make a mark where the airline will contact the
landing gear rail.
❏ ❏
4. Using a high speed motor tool or a small
round file make a groove in the landing gear rail just
big enough to allow the air line to clear the landing
gear rail without pinching the airline.
❏ ❏
5. Position the landing gear onto the landing
gear rails. The air cylinder will exit the side of the
fuselage as shown. When positioning the landing
gear be sure you do not kink either of the air lines.
❏ ❏
6. Drill a 7/64" [2.8mm] hole into the landing gear
rails for each of the mounting holes. Screw the landing
gear to the rails with four #6 x 1/2" [13mm] screws.
❏ ❏
7. Compress the landing gear strut completely.
While it is compressed, look at the positioning of the
back strut. Under compression the end of the back
strut should be at the end of molded channel. If the
landing gear back strut is too long, cut the end of the
strut so it will fit.
