If you only have one wing complete at this point, now would be the time to repeat the steps for the opposite wing. Retract
landing gear, cycle them a few more times because it is amusing to watch, and then set aside as we assemble the fuselage.

Using 1.5mm hex driver, remove
the wheel collar from the
landing gear, and remove the
wheel.
Using a pair of pliers, remove the
landing gear axle, and add a drop
of blue thread locker.
Screw axle back into place,
mount wheel and wheel collar.
And yes, the set screw on the
wheel collar could also use some
blue thread locker
As we did with the ailerons,
locate the rudder, and place
pins through the center of the
hinges.
Slide the rudder and hinges into
place, making sure that the
rudder aligns properly to the
top of the fin and the bottom of
the fuselage.
Remove the pins, deflect the
rudder, and apply a couple of
drops of thin CA to the hinges.
