Note: We will assemble the landing gear and set them
aside until needed. This will reduce the number of parts
to track, yet keep the fuselage light to install the rudder,
elevator and radio system.
 1. Locate the two axles and axle nuts, as well as the
landing gear. Use two adjustable wrenches to secure the
axles to the landing gear.
 2. Use a file to create a flat on the bottom of the landing
gear wire. This provides a place to tighten the screws for
the wheel collars, making them more secure on the wire.
