11. As you did with the elevators, install the rudder to the
fuse with two CA hinges. Coat the end of the tail gear wire
with epoxy before inserting it into the hole in the rudder.
INSTALL THE LANDING GEAR
❏
1. Fit the landing gear wires into the slot and holes on the
underside of the fuse. Position two landing gear straps over
the wires in the positions shown and mark the location of the
screw holes. Drill 5/64" [2mm] holes at your marks. Install the
straps over the wires using four 3x10mm self-tapping screws.
Be sure to harden the screw holes with thin CA.
❏
2. Drill a 1/8" [3.2mm] hole at the bottom of the groove on
each wheel pant.
❏
3. Use sandpaper to roughen the inside of the wheel
pants in the area around the groove. Clean the area with
denatured alcohol. Trial fi t the plywood wheel pant mounting
plates inside the wheel pants. The top edge of the mounting
plate may need to be rounded to match the curve of the
wheel pant. Once satisfi ed with the fi t, use epoxy to glue the
mounting plates in the wheel pants.
❏
4. Once the epoxy has cured, slide the wheel pants onto
the main landing gear. Position a nylon landing gear strap
over each main landing gear and drill 1/16" [1.6mm] holes
through the strap and the plywood mounting plate. Attach
the landing gear straps to the wheel pants with four 2.5x8mm
self-tapping screws. Harden the holes with thin CA.
