Step 11
Place the wheel assembly in the wheel pant. The threaded
portion of the axle will fit in the notch of the wheel pant as
shown. Position the flange on the axle so the flat area is
as horizontal as possible so the wider portion of the flange
spans the slot in the wheel pant to distribute the load more
evenly on the wheel pant.

Step 12
Use a 4mm washer and 4mm locknut to secure the axle to
the landing gear. Leave the nut slightly loose so the wheel
pant can be positioned for the next step. Use a 7mm nut
driver to tighten the 4mm locknut while holding the axle at
the flange with a 10mm open end wrench.

Step 13
Repeat Steps 6 through 12 to prepare and install the
remaining wheel and wheel pant.

Step 14
Place the fuselage on your work surface so the main and tail
wheels are resting on the same surface. Make sure the wheel
pant is fully pressed against the axle. Position the wheel pant
so the trailing edge tip of the wheel pant is 1
from the work surface as shown.

Step 15
Use a felt-tipped pen to mark the wheel pant through the
screw hole in the landing gear.

Step 16
Remove the wheel pant and use a drill and a 5/32-inch
(4mm) drill bit to drill a hole in the wheel pant at the mark
made in the previous step.

Hint: Use a pin vise and small bit to make a small
dimple so the larger drill bit doesn't wander and
damage the finish of your wheel pant.

wheel pant.
