1. Locate the flat area on the nose gear. This area

will be where the screw will be positioned in the

following step.

2. You will need to back out the screw in the nose

wheel steering arm before sliding in the nose

gear wire. Slide the nose gear into the nose gear

bracket. Use a #1 Phillips screwdriver to tighten

the screw that secures the nose gear. Make sure the

screw is tightened against the flat area as indicated

in Step 1.

You may need to push the cowling out of

the way slightly to access the screw. The

cowl material is flexible enough to bend a

little during this step without damage.

3. Locate the main gear and press it into the slot in

the fuselage that is behind the battery compartment
