IMPORTANT
The references in the next few procedures are taken from the consideration that you are looking at the
front of the airplane with the airplane right-side up. The engine will be mounted on its side.
A precut plywood spacer has been provided if you are using an engine that is smaller than 1.08 - 1.20. This spacer
allows smaller engines to be mounted farther forward to aid in balancing. An extra set of 30mm long socket-cap
screws have also been included to use with the spacer.

YOU'LL NEED THE FOLLOWING PARTS FROM THE KIT:
YOU'LL NEED THE FOLLOWING TOOLS AND SUPPLIES:
Remove the wheel collars, wheel and wheel pant from
the threaded axle.
Using a 5/32" diameter drill bit, drill a hole into the wheel
pant and through the plywood plate, at the mark you drew.
Carefully install one 3mm blind nut, from inside the wheel
pant, into the hole you just drilled.
Apply a bead of thick C/A around the edge of the blind
nut to keep it from coming loose.
Reinstall the wheel pant, wheel collars and wheel as done
previously. Don't worry about centering the wheel yet.
Pivot the wheel pant until the hole with the blind nut lines
up with the hole in the strut.
Thread one 3mm x 12mm machine screw through the
hole in the strut and into the blind nut. Tighten the screw
securely to hold the wheel pant firmly in place.
