wheel pant. Adjust the wheel collars to be sure the wheel is
centered in the pant and does not bind against it. Repeat this
for the remaining wheel pant.

5. Install the wing to the fuselage, securing it with two
1/4-20 x 2" [51mm] nylon wing bolts.
❏
6. Locate the two wing strut brackets. Slide the end of
the bracket with two holes into the slot on each side of the
fuselage. Secure the bracket to the fuselage with two #4 x
1/2" [13mm] socket head cap screws, #4 lock washers and
#4 flat washers. Be sure to apply a drop of thread locker on
each of the screws before inserting them into the brackets.
❏
7. Your kit includes 2 pair of struts. Each pair is comprised
of a 24" [610mm] and 25-1/2" [647mm] long strut. The 24"
[610mm] strut is the front strut and the 25-1/2" [647mm strut]
is the rear strut.
❏
8. There are two different brackets used for mounting the
strut. You will need two of the 90 degree brackets and two of
the angle brackets for each wing half.
❏
9. Look closely at the end of each strut. You will see that
on one end of each strut there is a slot rather than a hole. The
slotted end of the strut is the end that will be attached to the
bracket on the fuselage.
