Required Tools and Adhesives
• Threadlock
• Hex wrench: 3/32-inch, 1/8-inch
• Nut driver: 1/4-inch
Note: Be sure the 6-32 bolts that
secure the landing gear legs to the
landing brackets are snug to minimize
vibration, but allow for movement.
 Step 1
Locate the left and right main gear struts and the wing
strut tab. Attach the front of the landing gear using two
8-32 x 3/4-inch socket head screws. The rear is also
secured to the fuselage using four 8-32 x 3/4-inch socket
head screws, but the wing strut tabs are positioned
between the landing gear and fuselage.
Note: Use threadlock on the
8-32 x 3/4-inch socket head screws
to prevent them from vibrating loose in flight.
Note: In Step 2, leave the screws
loose in the gear until all the struts
and the cross brace are in position.
 Step 2
Use two 4-40 x 5/8-inch socket head screws and two
4-40 locknuts to attach the shock struts to the main
landing gear struts. The cross brace also uses two
4-40 x 5/8-inch socket head screws and 4-40 locknuts
to attach to the gear near the fuselage. Last, use two
4-40 x 1/2-inch socket head screws and two 4-40
locknuts to attach the shock struts to the cross brace.
