Install Landing Gear - THUNDER TIGER Tiger Bipe 40 Assembly Instructions Manual

WING ASSEMBLY
To hinge the ailerons, remove the clear tape
that hold the ailerons in place, if necessary. Pull
the aileron off the wing, revealing the hinges.
Center these hinges in their slots in the
AILERON and secure them with THIN CA,
letting it wick into the joint. Glue both surfaces
of the hinge.
When the glue has set, re-install the aileron
onto the wing. Hint: if you trim a little bit off
each corner of the hinges, they will insert in the
slots easier. While flexing the aileron one way
or the other and while holding the wing up on
it's front edge, carefully wick CA into the slot
where the hinge goes into the wing. Do so on
both sides of the hinge. After the glue has set,
tug on the aileron at each hinge location to
make sure the hinges are securely glued in
place. Also, make sure the aileron is free to
move up and down.
Repeat for the other aileron.
Set your wings aside, for now.

INSTALL LANDING GEAR

Locate the tailwheel assembly. Observe that
is secured to the bottom of the fuselage with two
barbed posts. Mark the locations for these
posts on the rear of the fuselage so that the tiller
arm of the tail wheel assembly will be flush with
the rear edge of the fuselage. Drill 1/8" holes at
these locations and push the tailwheel assem-
bly's barbed posts into these holes. Your
assemble should be secure. If you want, you
can add some screws in the holes provided in
the assembly (not furnished.) The tailwheel is
secured with a wheel collar and set screw.
Cut away the covering material that covers
the slot for the main gear.

later.
Now that the plane is "up on its feet", it will
be easier to work on.
