6. Locate the nose gear wire and slide it through the
nose gear block. Adjust the position of the nose gear block
until the nose gear wire is aligned with the centerline of the
fuselage. Mark the locations for the remaining three holes
for the nose gear block. Remove the block, and drill the
locations using a 1/8" [3mm] drill bit. Secure the nose gear
block using a total of four 4-40 blind nuts, four #4 washers
and four 4-40 x 1" socket head cap screws.
❏
7. Prepare the nose gear wheel pant by gluing two 3/8"
[9.5mm] square pieces of a mixing stick inside the pant as
shown using 6-minute epoxy.
❏
8. Install the nose wheel and wheel pant by sliding the
wheel pant onto the nose gear wire. Slide a 5/32" wheel
collar onto the wire, inside the wheel pant. This wheel collar
is used as a spacer, and does not require a set screw to be
installed. Next, slide the wheel onto the wire. Last, thread a
6-32 set screw into a 5/32" wheel collar and slide it onto the
nose gear wire. With the wheel pant pressed against the
nose gear wire, tighten the set screw.
❏
9. Position a nylon landing gear strap over the nose
gear wire. Mark the locations for the two holes so they will
be over the two pieces of the mixing stick which was glued
inside the wheel pant. Drill two 1/16" [1.5mm] holes at the
locations. Secure the strap into position using two #2 x 3/8"
sheet metal screws.
❏
Remove the covering from the windows on both sides of
the fuselage. Cut 1/8" [3mm] inside of the openings to allow
some material to be ironed down inside the opening. Use a
sealing iron to secure the covering around the opening.
❏
1. Use the following sequence for mounting the servos
into the servo tray:
❏
A. Install rubber grommets and brass eyelets in the
servos as shown in the provided sketch.
❏
B. Test fit the servos in the tray. Enlarge the openings if
needed to create a 1/32" (.8mm) gap around the servo.
❏
C. Mark servo mounting hole locations on the tray, then
drill 1/16" [1.5mm] pilot holes through each mark.
❏
D. Mount the servos with the screws provided with your
radio system.
