 6. Place 2–3 drops of thin CA in each of the holes.
This will harden the threads made by the screws
making them more secure when the landing gear
block is installed.
Always use threadlock on metal-to-metal fasteners
to prevent them from vibrating loose.
 7. Slide a main gear strut into the main landing
gear block. Use the setscrews and a 1.5mm hex
wrench to secure the main gear wire in the block.
The setscrews will tighten down on each side of the
flat at the top of the strut to prevent the strut from
rotating in the block. Assemble the right and left
main gear assemblies at this time.
 8. Place the correct main gear assembly in position.
The axle will face to the root of the wing, and the
spring will face to the trailing edge of the wing. Use
four 3mm x 14mm countersunk self-tapping screws
and a #1 Phillips screwdriver to tighten the screws.
 9. With the flap lowered, rest a square against the
flap hinge line. Look down on the axle and check
that it is perpendicular to the square as shown.
If not, it may be necessary to lightly file the flat
areas on the landing gear wire to correct for any
misalignment.
 10. Select the correct adapter that fits to the
landing gear strut. Insert two adapters in either side
of the hub of the wheel.
 11. Use a flat file to make a 1/4-inch (6mm) wide
flat area on the gear near the end of the axle strut
for the setscrew to rest. This will keep the wheel
collar from vibrating loose in flight.
