Mount The Wheel Pants & Landing Gear - GREAT PLANES U-Can-Do 3D Instruction Manual

12. Trim the two bolt holes in the stab covering. Bolt the
stab and stab fillet in place, using the two 6-32 x 3/4" [19mm]
SHCS. NOTE: If you don't plan on removing the stab, glue
the bolts in with medium CA. If you do plan on removing
it, make sure to check the tightness of the screws often.
13. Attach the 1-1/4" [32mm] tail wheel with the 3/32"
wheel collar and the 4-40 set screw.
Mount the Wheel Pants & Landing Gear
1. Glue one 3/32" x 1-1/8" x 1-1/8" [2.4 x 28 x 28mm]
plywood wheel pant mount with a 3/16" [4.8mm] hole to a
3/32" x 1-1/8" x 1-1/8" [2.4 x 28 x 28mm] plywood wheel
pant mount with a 1/2" [13mm] hole. Make two sets of these.
2. Make a mark on the right wheel pant centered
between the wheel pant supports and 1/2" [13mm] up from
the bottom edge. Use a high-speed rotary tool with a cutting
bit or a hobby knife to cut a 1/2" [13mm] hole centered on
the mark.
3. Round the bottom edge of the wheel pant mount so
it fits in the pant when the 1/2" [13mm] hole in the mount is
centered over the hole in the pant. Glue the mount to the
pant with 30-minute epoxy. The inside of the wheel pant
mount has the 1/2" [13mm] hole. Hint: for the most secure
bond, add microballoons (TOPR1090) or milled glass fibers
(GPMR6165) to the epoxy.
4. Use a metal saw or a high-speed rotary tool with a
reinforced cut-off wheel to cut 5/16" [8mm] from one of the
bolt-on axles. Mount the axle to the landing gear with the nut.
