landing gear legs are pre drilled and ready to bolt in. You will
need to open up the ends of the landing gear cuffs with a Dremel,
the cuffs are marked left and right.

The undercarriage legs for the Composite ARF Extra 330SC are very strong and very light, thanks to the laminated
carbon manufacturing process that has been used. The legs are held in place with four - 6mm x 20mm cap head bolts,
the legs are already pre drilled for you. The T-nuts are already pre fitted to the undercarriage mount plate for you at the
factory. Two bolts are used on each leg, and are inserted from the bottom of the fuselage.
The landing gear cuff s will need to have the exit hole cut open. Use a Dremel fitted with a bur and make the slot to
suit. The leg should slide freely through the slot you have just cut. Lightly sand the inside of the cuff s in preparation for
attachment. Double sided tape will work here, or silicone can be used to keep the cuff attached to the fuselage and
allow some flexibility. Do not use epoxy (or anything similar) to permanently attach the cuffs. The cuffs will need to be
removed when the undercarriage has to be removed for repairs or replacement.
