Step 13.
Make sure that the grub screw on the rudder control
arm lines up with the flat that is filed on the bottom
of the torque rod.
Step 14.
Use a servo arm that is the same length as the rudder
control arm. The final installation of the tail servos should
be as shown. The self adhesive servo covers can then be
fitted.
Step 15.
Locate the four plywood pieces that make up the
nose wheel steering servo mount nose cone
reinforcement and install as shown.
Step 16.
The nose wheel steering servo can be now be installed. A 600mm
long servo extension lead will be required.
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 al-
low 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.

Step 18.
Regardless of whether fixed landing gear or the retractable
gear is installed, the same pull-pull steering is used.
NOTE: If using the retractable landing gear, make sure that the
pull-pull cable are not to tight as to prevent the landing gear
from locking in its down position!
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 land-
ing 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.
