4) Slide the collar to the axle and setscrew
the collars to secure the collar to the axle
and then slider the wheel on the axle
with a drop of oil on the axle so the wheel
will spin freely when installed. Prepare a
second collar and tighten the setscrew
using hex wrench to secure the collar to
the axle.
5) Place the wheel assembly in the wheel
pants. The threaded portion of the axle
will fit the notch of the wheel pant as
shown.

nut to tighten the axle to the landing gear.
Make sure to use threadlock on the nut so
it won't vibrate loose in flight as shown.
7) Tighten the setcrews using a hex
wrench to secure the collars on the axle

ELECTRIC POWER CONVERSION.
1) Note that there is no factory-made
battery hatch in the Skybolt fuselage. If
you use electric power you must design
your own method to put the battery in
and out. The easiest method is to install
the battery from the front, at the bottom
of the cowling. Make an opening in the
plywood firewall right below the motor
mounting box. Cut away enough of the
bottom of the cowling to allow the bat-
tery to slide inside the fuselage. Make
sure you make a way to hold the battery
secure during flight.
