1. Make a center mark on both sides of the wheel cutouts
on all three wheel pants.
❏
2. Cut slots at these marks 3/32" [2.4 mm]-wide and 1/4"
[6 mm] deep.
❏
3. Attach the wheels to the landing gear wires by sliding
on a plastic wheel retainer, wheel, and another wheel
retainer onto each wire.
❏
4. Insert the landing gear wires into the slots you cut in
the wheel pants as shown.
❏
5. Use fine sandpaper to roughen up the area around the
bend in the landing gear wire on the wheel pants as well as
the wheel pant straps. Clean those areas with denatured
alcohol and use medium CA to glue the straps over the
landing gear wires onto the wheel pants. Be sure the landing
gear wires are secured perpendicular to the bottom of the
pants. Add a drop or two of medium or thick CA to the other
end of the landing gear wires where it contacts the pants. Be
sure to make a left and right landing gear.
❏
6. The nose gear wheel pant is installed the same way,
and should be glued to the left side of the nose gear wire.
