 10. Use a hobby knife to open the hole drilled in
the previous step to fit a servo extension through.
Make the hole just big enough for the extension to
avoid weakening the wing.
 11. Secure a 12-inch (305mm) servo lead to the
retract lead. Use two-sided tape to secure the plug in
the locations shown. Route the lead through the hole
made in the wing and use clear tape to secure it so
it does not interfere with the operation of the retract.
The next steps are to position the wheel. If the wheel
is not positioned correctly, it can bind and cause
premature damage to the retract mechanism.
 12. Use the transmitter to retract the gear. Check
that the wheel is centered in the wheel well. Adjust
the axle as necessary using a 2.5mm hex wrench.
 13. Use a felt-tipped pen to mark the edge of the
axle so the excess wire can be removed from the
main gear wire.
 14. Extend the landing gear and align the axle
so that it is perpendicular to the centerline of the
airplane. This will align the axle so that the wheel
does not have any angle and will cause the airplane
to roll straight. Tighten the screws on the axle
enough to leave a mark on the retract strut. Remove
the axle and extend the gear. Use a file to make a
flat on the wire for the screws to tighten to. This will
keep the axle from rotating when flying from grass
runways or during rough landings.
