GEAR, SERVO, WHEELS AND GEAR DOORS
Optional Pneumatic Retracts
Some modelers may wish to install pneumatic
retracts instead of the mechanical retracts included
in this kit . Mounting locations are provided in the
fuselage for optional pneumatic retract hardware
including the air tank, air valve, and air valve
servo . Tabs are designed into the air tank that
support the front of the air tank for securing it with
rubber bands . Detailed installation instructions
are not provided for installing pneumatic retracts .
However, the installation process for the gear is
similar to the mechanical installation shown in
the following instructions . The mechanical retract
pushrods will need to be replaced with air lines .
Be sure to follow the instructions included with
the pneumatic retract kit .
o 1 . Locate the 3 plywood parts that make up the
servo tray . Test fit them into the center of the wing .
Adjust the parts as needed . Once you are satisfied
with the fit, glue the components in place . You will find
it easiest to glue each of the components in place
individually rather than gluing it together and then
trying to fit it into the opening .
2 . Install your retract servo between the mounting rail
in the wing center section using the hardware that
came with the servo . Be sure to harden the screw
holes with thin CA glue .
