fl anges to help join the left and right pieces. Glue two fl anges

them yet.

9. Turn the model over. Lightly sand the landing gear wire
where each pant will attach. Glue the fl anged half of each gear
pant to each landing gear wire using medium CA. Pay special
attention to the way the top of the gear pant is angled and
install the fl anged side accordingly (inboard or outboard).
❏
10. Fit the other half of each gear pant to the fl ange and
hold it in position. Carefully wick a bit of thin CA into each
fl ange. Clean up any excess using CA debonder and a clean
paper towel. Do this for both gear pants.

drill four 1/8" [3.2mm] holes for the legs of the safety bar to
fi t into.
