2. 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.
4. 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.
6. 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.
Connect the steering pushrod clevis to the steering arm on
the nosegear.
5. Mark the retract mounting hole locations on the rails using
a pencil and drill appropriately sized holes for the hardware
you intend to use.
3. 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.
