5. Position the gear strut in the retract unit so that
the coil is parallel with the centerline of the fuselage.
An excellent visual cue for this is to align the coil
with the rib under the coil. The gear strut should
orient towards the wing tip with the coil facing
towards the root.
6. Mark this angle and remove the gear strut from
the retract unit and use a flat file to grind a flat spot
on the gear strut to so that it can not rotate when the
setscrew has been tightened. It is absolutely critical
that this is aligned properly, and it may take some
adjustment to arrive at the correct angle. Take your
time and ensure that this is perfect. Reinsert the strut
into the retract unit and tighten the setscrew in the
unit to lock the strut into place.
7. Use the four 3mm x 25mm screws removed
in step 1 and the retract cover plate to secure the
retract in the wing. Use a #1 Phillips scewdriver to
tighten the screws.
8. Slide the wheel removed from the fixed gear
onto the axle. Use the wheel collar removed in step
2 to secure the wheel to the axle. Use a #1 Phillips
screwdriver to tighten the screw.
9. Use a 3/16-inch (5mm) drill bit to drill a hole
near the aileron and flap servo leads into the wheel
well opening.
