8. Position the landing gear in place on the bottom of the
fuselage. Thread a #4 x 1/2" [13 mm] SMS screw into each
of the six landing gear mounting holes and back it out. Add
a couple drops of thin CA glue to each hole. Then, install the
main landing gear to the fuselage using six #4 x 1/2" [13 mm]
SMS screws.

Install the Cabane Struts

❏
1. Locate the four slots in the fuselage for the cabane
struts and trim the covering away. Below the slots are four
holes to mount the cabane struts to the fuselage. Trim the
covering from these holes.
❏
2. Assemble the cabane struts as shown using four 4-40
x 3/8" [9.5 mm] Phillips screws and four 4-40 nylon lock nuts.
Note that each cabane strut has a long and a short end. The
longer ends will be at the bottom. Make a left and a right
cabane strut.
❏
3. Looking inside the slots at the top of the fuselage, you
will see rectangular cutouts for the long ends of the cabanes
to fit into. Insert the left and right cabane struts into the
fuselage and secure them using four 4-40 x 3/8" [9.5 mm]
Phillips screws and thread-locking compound.
Install the Engine & Fuel Tank
❏
1. Locate the fuel tank. The hardware needed for the fuel
tank assembly is inside of the tank. Remove the stopper and
shake out the contents.
❏
2. The fuel system for the Super Skybolt ARF utilizes a
three line system. There is a fill line, carb line, and vent
line (to muffler). The fill line will allow fueling and defueling
without removing the cowl. The fill line is optional and may
be omitted if desired.
