1. Use foam-safe CA to glue the tail skid tubing onto

the tail skid. Leave about 1/8-inch (3mm) of the tubing

extending beyond the skid. The tube helps in quieting the

skid on hard surfaces.

2. Slide the landing gear struts through the holes in the

bottom wing. Slide a nylon landing gear doubler onto

each of the landing gear struts. Insert each of the struts

into the opening in the fuselage. The struts will meet each

other in the middle of the fuselage.

3. Check the alignment of the axles using a ruler. They

should be parallel or the tips should be slightly forward

to provide the best ground tracking.
