! 5) Remove the two straps and the gear
wire. Drill four 1.5mm pilot holes into the wing
for the wood screws. Be careful not to drill
through the top of the wing!
! 6) Reinstall the gear wire and install the
straps using the four 3mm x 12mm wood
screws. Tighten the screws completely to
secure the gear wire in place.
! 7) Slide one wheel collar with 3mm x
6mm set screw onto each axle. Push the
wheel collars on as far as they will go and
tighten the set screws.
Be careful not to overtighten the set
screws. Overtightening may cause the
threads to strip.
! 8) Slide one 60mm diameter wheel onto
each axle and push them up against the wheel
collars. Slide the remaining wheel collars with
3mm x 6mm set screws onto the axles. Push
them up against the wheels and tighten the
set screws. The wheels should spin free and
not bind in any way. If they do bind, loosen
the set screws in the outer wheel collars and
move the collars out a small amount. Re-
tighten the set screws.
