Landing Gear Installation ARF/BNF Basic
An optional float set is available for your aircraft. When installing the floats,
continue to the following section, Connect the Pushrods to the Control Surfaces.
The floats will be installed later in the manual.
1. Secure the axle to the landing gear using two 1/2-inch wrenches. Align the flat
area on the axle toward the bottom of the aircraft.
2. Slide a wheel collar on the axle.
3. Slide the wheel on the axle. Apply a drop of threadlock on a 3mm setscrew.
Secure the wheel collar using the 3mm setscrew. Tighten the setscrew onto the
flat area of the axle using a 1.5mm hex wrench.
4. Align the landing gear mounting holes with the holes on the bottom of the
fuselage. Fit the landing gear cover over the landing gear.
5. Apply a drop of threadlock on each of the three M3 x 12mm machine screws.
Place a washer, then lock washer, on each screw. The screws go through the
cover, through the landing gear, and into the blind nuts in the fuselage. Be
careful not to cross thread the screws. Use a large Phillips screw driver (PH#2)
to secure the landing gear and cover in place.
6. Apply a thin layer of contact adhesive, such as E6000, to the outside of the
landing gear. Position the landing gear fairing and use a clamp to hold the
fairing in position until the adhesive cures.
TIP: Alternately, double-sided adhesive tape can be used to secure the landing gear
fairings.
