3. Install the wheels on the axles. Slide the brass wheel

collar onto the axle and secure it using a 1.5mm hex

wrench. Apply threadlock to the setscrew to prevent it

loosening due to vibration.

4. Mark the retract mounting hole locations on the rails

using a pencil and drill appropriately sized holes for the

hardware you intend to use.

Radio Connections and Operation

1. Plug the connector from each of the retract units into

the 3-into-1 wire harness supplied with the retracts.

2. Plug the single lead from the wire harness into the

gear channel of your receiver. An auxiliary channel can

be used if the gear channel is occupied.

3. Before operating the retracts in the model for the first

time check that there are no obstructions in the wheel

wells that could impede operation of the gear.

4. Turn on your transmitter and receiver. Use the gear

or other assigned switch to activate the landing gear

and check that it operates correctly.

5. If the switch direction is opposite of that desired, use

the reversing function in the transmitter to change the

retraction direction.

6. If using a 2.4GHz radio, once you have set the

correct servo direction be sure to rebind the system

before flight.

5. Install the retracts in the model using the screws

provided with the kit or those of your own choice. A #4 x

1/2-inch wood screw works well. You will find the main units

require the use of a 100 degree countersunk woodscrew

while the nose unit requires a button head woodscrew.

Nosegear Steering

Connect the steering pushrod to the steering arm on the

nosegear.
