Mount The Landing Gear - GREAT PLANES Super Sportster EP ARF Instruction Manual

5. Attach the spinner cone to the spinner backplate with
two 3x10mm self-tapping screws.
6. Tape the cowl to the fuselage so that the aft edge is
flush with the front of the battery hatch. Make certain there
is an approximately 1/16" [2mm] gap between the spinner
and cowl and the cowl is centered on the spinner.
7. Drill four 1/16" [1.6mm] holes through both sides of the
cowl and the fuselage where shown in the photo. Remove
the cowl and enlarge the holes in the cowl only with a 3/32"
[2.4mm] drill. Mount the cowl with four 3x10mm screws.
8. Remove the cowl once more. Add a few drops of thin
CA to the screw holes in the fuselage to "harden" the
threads. Allow the CA to fully harden, then mount the cowl.

MOUNT THE LANDING GEAR

1. Trim the covering from the main landing gear slot in the
bottom of the fuselage.
2. Insert the two main landing gear wires in the holes in
the slot.
3. Position two nylon landing gear straps over the landing
gear. Drill a 1/16" [1.6mm] hole through each mounting hole
in the landing gear strap and into the fuselage. Attach the
landing gear straps to the fuselage with four 3x10mm self-
tapping screws. Harden the holes with thin CA.
4. Starting with the left wheel pant, drill a 1/8" [3.2mm]
hole in the wheel pant at the bottom of the mounting slot.
