6. Cut a 45° beveled edge on the sides and tips of the
fuselage braces with a sharp hobby knife. Make a shallow
cut along the line shown in the picture. Do not cut all the way
through the foam for this cut.
❏
7. Align the colored pattern on the fuselage braces with the
colors on the fuselage and glue them into position. These
braces mount at a 45° angle to the fuselage, matching the
bevel cuts you made in the prior step. Bend the triangle shaped
tips of the braces inward to glue against the fuselage.

1. Glue the inner wheel pants to the outer wheel pants.
Be sure to make one left and one right wheel pant.
❏
2. Assemble the axle supports (D1), axles, wheels, and
wheel collars (D6) to make two landing gear assemblies.
Secure the wheel collar to the axle with a drop of glue, but
do not glue the axle to the axle support until later. Be sure
that the wheels rotate freely.
❏
3. Glue the wheel pants to the wheel collars. You do not
need to align the position of the axle supports at this time.
❏
4. Slide the wheel assemblies onto the 2 x 190 mm [5/64"
x 7-1/2"] landing gear rods. Rotate the assemblies so that the
wheel pant bottoms are parallel with the wings and the wheels
are pointed straight ahead. When satisfied with their fit, apply
a few drops of glue to the axle supports at the axles and at the
landing gear rods.
