Section 4: Assembling the Landing Gear

1. Glue the top section of the 1/16" balsa landing gear spacer onto the 1/32" plywood part
with thick CA, lining it up with the engraved line on the plywood part. Set the landing
gear wire in place and then glue the bottom 1/16" balsa spacer in place with thick CA.
Pull out the landing gear wire, spread a little thick CA in the "slot", press the landing
gear wire in place and then glue the other 1/32" plywood part in place. Use the 1/8"
balsa dowels to help line the parts up.
2. Slide the wheels onto the landing gear wire. Slide the DuBro wheel collars onto the wire
and secure them in place with the small set screws.
3. Press the landing gear into the slot in the bottom of the fuselage. This is a fairly tight fit,
so be careful. If it's too tight to get in, LIGHTLY sand the balsa part inside the fuselage
to get a good fit.
