Landing Gear installation
Start with the nose gear. Screw the nose
gear with 2 self tapping sheet metal screws
to the nose gear former. Check alignment
and gear movement. It's easy to correct at
this time. Extend the front edge of the
nose gear cutout slightly, so that the wheel
passes without touching the edge. The
little opening remaining when the door is
closed can be ignored, it will have no
negative effect on function or looks.
Once you are satisfied with the movement
and alignment, drill the other 4 holes with
a battery drill. Then remove the gear, drill
the remaining 2 holes, enlarge all holes to
5 mm (for the T-nuts) and permanently
mount the nose gear with 6x M4 bolts and
T-Nuts.
Connect the airlines to the cylinder
(preferably color coded gear-up and gear-
down) and secure every tube connection.
The airlines protect the cylinder inside
from dust and dirt. Close the ends with
some masking tape.
Install the steering servo and the linkage as
shown in the photo. The steering linkage is
approx. 95 mm long from hole to hole.
