Installation
1. Test fit the retract unit in the wing or fuselage to
determine the strut length and axle location. Cut the
strut to length using a cutoff wheel in a rotary tool.
2. Make two flat spots on the end of the strut with a file
and use a 2.5mm hex wrench to secure the axle to the
strut. Apply threadlock to the threads of the retaining
screws so they do not loosen from vibration.
