LandingGearAssembly



Tostopthefuselagegettingdamagedwhilethemodelisassembledwerecommendfittingthelandinggearfirst.



Pusheachaxlethroughthewheelholes,andtightenupwith1xselflockingnutand1xblindnut.Thenpasstheaxlethoughtheholeoflandinggear,

andtightenupwith1xselflockingnut.



 



TheU/Crakesforwardsousethecorrectwheelpantperside,andusingafinedrill,drillholesforthescrews.

 



Nowlineupthewheelinthecentreofthewheelpantopeningandtightenthecollets.Remembertousenutlockandtomakesurethewheelcan

RearStab

Removetheelevatorsandhingesfromtherearstabandplaceitintheopening.

Itisimportantthatcareistakenwhenaligningtherearstab.Measureeachsidetomakesurethatanequalamountshowsoneachside.

FittheCFwingtubeandlookingfromthefrontandbackcheckthattheelevatorplateisinhorizontalalignmenttotherearstab.Ifitisnotthentrim

Fitthewingsandmeasurefromtheendofthewingtotheelevatorstabtomakesurethatbothsidesareequal



Glueing–Onceyouthinkyouarereadytoglue,measureagain.Werecommend2methodsforgluing.Eitherremovethecoveringontheareathatis

usemediumorthick.Remembertowickinsmallamountsatatimekeepingtheplanelevel,thiswillensurethegluestayswhereitneedstobe.

  
