Repeat Steps 1 and 2 to install the remaining landing
gear assembly.

Step 4
Locate one of the landing gear straps. The strap will be
used to secure the main gear to the fuselage. Holes have
been pre-drilled for the screws that secure the landing
gear strap in position.
Note: Before installing the screws, apply
2–3 drops of thin CA into each of the holes
to harden the surrounding wood. This will
allow the screws to be more secure and will
help in preventing them from vibrating loose.
