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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
