7. Install the steering arm in the bearing.
Slide the nosegear strut though both the steering arm and
the nosegear bearing. With the fuse bottom-side up, tight-
en the socket head screw with the Allen wrench.
8.
Put the nosegear strut into the nosegear
block, pushing it down until the spring is approximately ½"
off the bottom of the fuselage. Make sure the nosegear
steering arm is approximately ½" away from the firewall
and that the nosegear strut is positioned as shown in the
photo.
9. Using the 6-32 Allen wrench, tighten down
the setscrew in the steering arm to hold the strut in place.
12. Bend the wire towards the correct hole in
the rudder servo wheel., but DO NOT CUT IT. Move the
pushrod to check for free movement and correct, if neces-
sary.
13. With the nose wheel pointing straight
ahead, the end of the steering arm should be ½" away
from the firewall. Adjust, if necessary. At the servo, mark
where the pushrod meets the hole on the servo wheel and
make a 90° bend in the pushrod at that point.
14. Remove the servo wheel to insert the
pushrod, and then remount. Later, during taxi tests, you
can adjust the nose wheel steering by loosening the steer-
ing arm socket head screw.
