Apply a generous bead of glue into the nose gear slot that is milled in the bottom vertical fuselage.
Insert the bent wire landing gear strut into the slot fully and align such that the axle portion of the
strut is parallel to the wing spar. If this is not parallel, the front wheel will not be pointing straight
and the aircraft will turn while taxiing. When the glue has cured a bit, add additional glue to the
outside of both sides of the slot and wipe into the foam with your finger to strengthen the area. It
is suggested to allow the glue to fully cure before proceeding to the next step.

Slide the wheel on and hold it in place with a plastic hub made from the center portion of a servo

drop of foam glue.
