5. Now there is a left and right main landing gear.
❏
6. Bend the 6" [152mm] wire as shown on the cross-
brace template on the plan.
❏
7. Bend the tail skid from the remaining piece of 9"
[230mm] wire as shown on the plan. Use a needle nose
pliers to make the circular bend in different spots until you
have formed the curved end. Cut off the excess wire.
❏
1. Cover the front 2" [50mm] of the fuselage tube with
masking tape, so you can mark where to drill the holes for
the landing gear.
❏
2. Use a ballpoint pen to mark the tube 1" [25mm] and
1-1/16" [27mm] from the end. Be certain the marks are on
the tube so that when the holes are drilled and the landing
gear is mounted, the wings will be level when the model is
resting on the gear.
❏
3. Drill 1/16" [1.6mm] holes all the way through the
fuselage tube at the marks you made.
❏
4. Insert the landing gear into the tube. Wrap the gear
and the tube tightly with string or thread (not included in the
kit). Saturate the string with thin CA.
❏
5. Attach the cross-brace 1-3/8" [35mm] above the bend in
the axle. Wrap the joints tightly with string or thread and
saturate with thin CA.
❏
6. Drill a 1/16" [1.6mm] hole for the tail skid 6" [152mm]
from the aft end of the tube.
