Install the Landing Gear

For this section you will need:
1-Fuselage
❏
1. Slide one of the main landing gear legs into the landing
gear slot as shown above. Push it in until you hear a "click" or
until it does not slide in any more. Note: The two landing gear
legs are identical, so it does not matter which one you install
on the left side or right side of the airplane.
❏
2. Install the other landing gear leg on the other side of the
fuselage the same way. Once they are both installed, apply
a light force to pull them out. You should not be able to pull
them out. If they do pull out, then push them back in again
2-Landing Gear Legs
until they are secured properly. Note: The legs may fi t a little
loose inside the pocket. This is normal as long as you are not
able to pull the landing gear legs out.
Landing gear installation is complete.
If you ever need to remove the landing gear from the fuselage,
insert a screwdriver into the hole under the fuselage furthest
from the leg you want to remove and apply light pressure to
the tab inside the hole and pull the landing gear leg out. Once
the tab is moved, the screwdriver must be removed to allow
the leg to come all the way out. Do the same with the other
landing gear leg.
Note: If your landing gear legs spread after a hard landing,
remove the legs from the airplane and bend them back to
the correct position with a vise. Do not try to straighten the
legs while installed in the airplane as that may damage the
SnapGear Landing Gear mechanism.
