10. D TRIAL FIT THE MAIN GEAR WIRE INTO THE GEAR

BLOCK

Remove the landing gear block from the wing and

temporarily install the landing gear wire. The torque arm
should slide into the hole you drilled earlier with the long
arm resting in the groove in the long block. Custom fit as
necessary. Remove the wire.

11. D GLUE THE LANDING GEAR BLOCK AND GUSSET

IN PLACE

Use 5 minute expoxy to glue the main landing gear

block in place. Add the small gusset under the outer (out-
board) end of the long block. Fill the groove at both ends of

the long block with scrap balsa so foreign matter does not

get into the wing.

* Go to step 13 for the 20 size model.

12. D (40 and 60 SIZE ONLY) GLUE THE HARDWOOD

HOLD DOWN PLATE AND BALSA FILLERS TO

THE WING PANEL

Add the maple wing hold down plate and balsa

fillers behind the leading edge between ribs 1 and 2.
Custom fit as necessary. Use 5 minute epoxy after you are
sure of the fit and glue the pieces in place.

13. D (20 SIZE ONLY) GLUE THE TWO 1/8" PLYWOOD

DOWEL PLATES TO THE WING PANEL

Remove the 1/8" Plywood dowel plates from the

razor cut sheet. The smaller dowel plate glues to the rear
of the wing panel leading edge. The larger dowel plate
glues to the front of the top and bottom spars. Use epoxy
and glue both plates in position between ribs 1 and 2 as
shown on the plan.
