4.
Cut the yellow plastic tubing to two (2) pieces 3/16" long. Press the tubing onto the retract wire to keep the wheel in place. Secure
the plastic in place with a dab of thick CA on the outer end of it. MAKE SURE you do NOT get any glue inside the wheel or on the
wire surface where the wheel is.
5.
Press the retract landing gear wire into the retract unit and secure it with the set screw include. Make sure the wheels are straight
and not angled off to one side. Once you are sure they are straight, drop some thin CA where the wire goes into the body of the
retract unit. This will help keep the landing gear wire from twisting and keep it in place.
6.
Place your servo as shown in the images below. Mount it using the screws included with your servo. Do not tighten the screws too
much. Remove the screws and servo from the wing and drop thin CA into the screw holes to strengthen them. Allow the CA to dry
thoroughly and reinstall the servo. There is a hole in W30 for the servo connector to go through.
7.
Place a Z-bend on one end of the two (2) 0.047" Dia. x 5" retract pushrod wires. Make the bends as tight as possible.
8.
Install the pushrod on the retract as shown in the image below. Install this retract unit in the LEFT wing with the screws that came
with it and the retract pushrod running through the FRONT slot in W3.
9.
Install the other retract pushrod as shown in the image below. Install this retract unit in the RIGHT wing with the screws that came
with it and the pushrod going through the REAR slot in W3.
10. Plug the retract servo into your receiver and turn your receiver and transmitter on. Place the retract switch in the "down" position.
Place the servo arm on the servo and mark the pushrod wires where they cross the outer hole on the servo horn. Turn off your
receiver and transmitter and continue to the next step.
11. Remove the LEFT retract unit and place a Z-bend in the retract pushrod as shown in the image below where you marked it in the
previous step. Make sure you bend the wire in the direction shown in the image! Reinstall the retract unit in the wing.
12. Repeat step 8 for the RIGHT retract unit.
13. Insert the retract pushrods into the servo horn and mount the servo horn to the servo as shown in the images.
14. Plug the retract servo into the receiver and power up your receiver and transmitter. Adjust the endpoints of the retract channel so
