To install the blind nuts, please proceed with
the following sequence.
Insert a screw, with two or more washers into the hole. Locate a blind nut under the screw (a
set of curved tweezers or forcepts is helpfull here). Using a proper tool, screw the bolt up
tight, drawing th blind nut up into the plate till fully seated (the washers help distribute the
force equally, preventing damage). Secure the blind nut with a bit of Epoxy, being carefull
not to get any into the threaded area. Same procedure for the rest of the gear mounting
bolts.

The socket-head screws and blind nuts for
installing the gear are included in the
accessory pack.
Once the Epoxy has cured, the bolts can be
removed, the gear is set in place and
secured.
The landing gear covers can now be prepared for
mounting.
The covers need to be lightly sanded to final
shape so that they fit cleanly, but not tightly, in
the corresponding recesses in the wing surface.
