NOTICE: Always ensure the retracts and wheels are installed so that there are
no obstructions when extending and retracting the struts. Failure to do so could
result in damage to the aircraft or gear.
1. Measure and mark 2.875 inches (73.0mm) below the coil of the strut, then
cut off the strut ( A).
2. Install the included wheels ( B) on the retract axles (C) using the wheel
collars ( D) and set screws (E). Always install the wheel bushing facing the
inside of the wheel axle to ensure the wheel rolls freely.
3. Loosely fit the retract axles on the landing gear struts ( F) using the axle
screws ( G).
4. Where installed, remove the 8 screws ( H) and the landing gear doors (I)
from the wing.
5. Install the main retracts ( J) in the wing using the 8 screws removed from
the landing gear doors and the left and right retract plates.
6. Connect the main retracts to the gear harness extensions ( K) in the fuse-
lage. Install the wing according to previous wing installation instructions.
7. Ensure the wheels move freely in and out of the wheel wells when
extending and retracting, then tighten the axle screws on the struts.
Tip: Extend the landing gear and make sure the wheel has a small amount of
toe-in for proper ground handling. Use a metal file to make flat spots on both
sides of the strut so the axle screws can be tightened.
Tip: Apply a small amount of threadlock to the axle screws and set screws in
the wheel collars to secure the wheels to the struts.
Tip: It may be necessary to remove a small amount of foam for the connector
of the retract to sit flush under the tape on the bottom of the wing.
