6. Make a 90 degree bend at the mark on each pushrod
and cut off the excess pushrod 1/4" [6mm] beyond the bends.
Attach the pushrods to the servo arms using nylon FasLinks.
Thread the clevises up or down on the pushrods as necessary
to center the ailerons with the servo arms still perpendicular
to the servo cases. When satisfi ed, slide the silicone clevis
retainers to the ends of the clevises to secure them.

7. Thread a 3x10mm self-tapping screw into each landing
gear strap hole and back it out. Apply a drop of thin CA
glue to each hole and allow the glue to dry completely. Fit
the main landing gear legs into the slots in the wings and
secure them using nylon landing gear straps and 3x10mm
self-tapping screws.
❏
8. Slide a 5/32" [4mm] wheel collar onto each axle followed
by a main wheel and another 5/32" [4mm] wheel collar. With
the collars and wheels centered on the axles, use a felt-tip
pen to mark the hole location of each collar onto the axles.
Remove the collars and wheels and use a fi le or rotary tool
to grind fl at spots onto the axles at your marks.
❏
9. Reinstall the wheel collars and wheels onto the axles.
Tighten a 3x5mm machine screw with thread locking compound
into each wheel collar. Be sure that the wheels rotate freely. A
couple drops of oil onto each axle is recommended.
