4. Carefully press the gear into the slots at the front and

rear into the fuselage.

Note: You may put a drop of foam-safe CA at each

corner of the fuselage where the landing gear exits to

help secure it to the airframe.

Wing Rigging Installation

Required Parts

• Airframe

• Rigging thread

Required Tools and Adhesives

• Foam-safe CA

• Thin CA

• Needle

• Hobby knife

Note: Installing the rigging will add to the appearance

and strength of your airplane, but you will not be able to

remove the wings without cutting the rigging. The rigging

is required on your S.E.5a. DO NOT fly your model

before installing the rigging.

Hint A: You may want to thread the rigging through a

needle to make it easier to pass the rigging through

the holes, especially the tubes in the fuselage near the

bottom wing.

Hint B: Another option is to soak the last 2 inches

(50mm) of the rigging line with thin CA to stiffen it up so

you can pass it through all the holes.
