8. If you have purchased the Robart air pressure

tubing, cut a piece of the red and blue line to a length
of 18" [457mm]. Cut the remaining line in half, leaving

9. Install the purple line to the fi tting on the front

of the air cylinder and the red line to the rear fi tting.

the six 8-32 × 2-1/2" [64mm] socket head cap screws,
#8 fl at washers and #8 lock washers. Pull the air line
through the wing, exiting at the wing root.

aluminum tube and the axle included with the landing
gear. Slide the axle into the wheel and slide the
aluminum tube over the axle.

12. Slide the wheel and axle into the landing

gear. Make a mark on the axle where it needs to be
cut to make it fl ush with the landing gear.

with the axle. Make a fl at spot on the axle with a fi le

Screw the wheel cover with the large hole into the

without the wheel cover; then, slide the aluminum tube
