40. S
ecure the landing gear to the fuselage using the
p
reinstalled T-nuts, two supplied metal straps with
12 mm (7/16-inch) bolts in front of the wing, and three
supplied straps with 15 mm (5/8-inch) bolts behind the
wing. Place the Jenny right side up on its landing gear
[27:41].
41. Identify and stage the four(4) aluminum cabane struts:
The two(2)
FRONT cabanes are each 348 mm long with their ends cut at a bigger angle;
The two(2) REAR cabane struts are each 349 mm long with their ends cut at a smaller angle.
(Note: The cabane struts are incorrectly identified in the video [28:13].)
42. Insert the cabanes into their precut openings on both sides of the fuseage.
Insert 12 mm (7/16-inch) bolts through the predrilled holes in the fuselage
and through each cabane. Finger-tighten a self-locking nut on each bolt to
loosely hold the bolts and cabanes to the fuselage [28:26].
43. Stage the wing’s struts: The four(4)
REAR struts are each 425 mm long
an
d the four(4) FRONT struts are each
411 mm long.
44. Position a front and a rear strut onto
each of the four(4) preinstalled INNER
wooden wing-strut mounts (two on
each side on top of the lower wing).
45. With the shanks of four(4) 12 mm
(7/16-inch) bolts pointing toward the
fuselage, insert and push each bolt fully
through the four(4) INNER struts and
wooden mounts.
46. Place a flat wing-wire anchor
on the end of each bolt projecting from
the side of each INNER strut.
47. Aim the free end of each flat wing-wire
anchor in the direction of the top of the
opposite strut (i.e., from the base of the front strut toward the top of the rear strut, and
from the base of the rear strut toward the top of the front strut), and tighten a self-locking
nut onto each of these four(4) bolts [29:36].
48. Position a front and a rear strut onto each of the four(4) preinstalled OUTER wooden
wing-strut mounts (i.e., the two wing mounts nearest each lower wing panel’s tip).
49. Slide one flat wing-wire anchor fully onto each of four(4) 12 mm (7/16-inch) bolts.
50. With the shank of each bolt pointing towards the fuselage, insert and push each bolt
fully through the four(4) OUTER struts and wooden mounts.
51. Place a flat wing-wire anchor on the end of each bolt projecting from the side of each
outer strut that is nearest the fuselage.
52. Aim the free end of each flat wing-wire anchor that is nearest the fuselage in the
direction of the top of the opposite strut (i.e., from the base of the front strut toward the
top of the rear strut, and from the base of the rear strut toward the top of the front strut).
53. Aim the free ends of the four(4) flat wing-wire anchors that are nearest the wing tips
straight up.
54. Tighten a self-locking nut onto each of the four(4) bolts with two flat wing-wire anchors
to secure the four(4) OUTER struts.
