Repeat the previous procedures to install the second retract assembly in the other half of the wing.

Using a modeling knife and a ruler, cut away and remove
the portion of the wing for strut clearance.
IMPORTANT
Make the slot slightly wider than the strut to prevent any
chance of the strut interfering with the wing during use.
Install the Z-Bend in one 2mm x 250mm pushrod wire
into the hole in the nylon retract actuator arm.
Using a pair of pliers, make a 7/8" deep bend in the pushrod
wire as shown. Make the bend 2" out from the Z-Bend.
The pushrod wire should be below the end of the axle as
shown. This will ensure the pushrod does not interfere with
the plastic wheel cup when it is installed later.
Slide the pushrod wire through the precut holes in the
wing ribs and into the retract servo bay.
Set the retract assembly onto the mounting rails, realign
it, and secure it into place using four 3mm x 12mm wood
screws.
Drill 5/64" pilot holes through the mounting rails to make
it easier to install the screws. Be careful not to drill through
the top of the wing.
