7. Insert the 12" [305mm] fl exible plastic tube
into the wheel opening, sliding it into the wing until it
exits out at the retract servo.
❏ ❏
8. Insert the wire from the retract into the tube.
Using the tube as a guide, push the wire into the wing
until the landing gear can rest on the landing gear
rails. Remove the plastic tube.
❏ ❏
9. Mount the retract to the rail with four #6 x 3/4"
[19mm] screws and four #6 fl at washers.
❏ ❏
10.File a fl at spot onto the end of the axle.
❏ ❏
11. Apply a drop of thread locker to two 2mm
set screws. Then thread the set screws into two
5mm wheel collars. Slide one wheel collar onto the
axle followed by the wheel and another wheel collar.
Position the outer wheel collar at the end of the axle
and then tighten the set screw against the fl at spot
you created on the axle. Push the inner wheel collar
against the wheel but not tight enough to interfere with
the wheel's ability to spin freely on the axle.
❏ ❏
12. Snap the wheel cover onto the wheel. Be
sure the wheel spins freely. If not, most likely the
wheel collar needs to be adjusted so it is not rubbing
against the wheel cover.
❏
13. If you have not been doing both retracts, repeat
steps 3-13 for the other landing gear
❏
14. We will cover how to set up and adjust the
retract servo and the landing gear when we get to the
radio installation instructions.
