C-130 Addendum - advanced scale models C-130 Hercules Instruction Manual

Step 1.
Insert the alloy tube into a tail plane half and drill a 1.5mm
(1/16") pilot hole through the bottom of the tail plane and the
alloy tube, 18mm inboard from the tail plane root rib.
Step 3.
Insert the alloy tube, with one tail plane half fitted, through the
fuselage and fit the other half of the tail plane. Drill a 1.5mm
(1/16") pilot hole 18mm inboard from the tail plane root rib
also. Secure with the supplied screw.
Step 17.
If the optional retracts are to be fitted, the front gear door
section will need to be cut out along the lines moulded in the
fuselage. Also a section of the front former, to allow the nose
wheel to retract, will need to be cut out.
If the supplied fixed gear is to be used, fit the nose wheel
bearing blocks to the fuselage. Once fitted, mark and drill a
hole for the nose leg through the bottom of the fuselage.

retracts.
Step 19.
Both the fixed gear and retractable landing gear mount
to the airframe in the same way using the supplied
mounting screws. However the fixed gear will need
some assembly. Mount the landing gear legs to the
metal mounting plate with the metal straps and nuts
and bolts provided. Use some thread lock to prevent
the nuts from loosening during flight.
Step 20.
Secure the landing gear doors in place using a few
drops of thin CA adhesive applied to each hinge leaving
only a minimal gap between the fuselage and gear
door.
Regardless of whether fixed landing gear or the
optional retracts are to be installed, the control horns
and gear door wire should be installed.
The wire serves as a pushrod in the case of retracts
being fitted.
