2. Temporarily attach the axle to the retract strut<br />
using a 2.5mm hex wrench. The position of the axle<br />
will be adjusted in the following steps.<br />
4. Remove the wheel collar and wheel from the<br />
axle. Use a rotary tool and cut-off wheel to trim the<br />
axle at the mark made in the previous step. Use<br />
a flat file to make a flat area on the first 1/4-inch<br />
(6mm) of the axle for the setscrew of the wheel<br />
collar to rest on when it is tightened.<br />
6. With the gear in the UP position, place it in<br />
the wing. Check that the wheel is centered in the<br />
opening when the mounting holes are aligned<br />
for the retract. Adjust the position of the wheel if<br />
necessary. Use a felt-tipped pen to mark the edge of<br />
the axle on the strut as shown.<br />
3. Slide the main wheel on the axle. Use a wheel<br />
collar and 1.5mm hex wrench to temporarily attach<br />
the wheel. Use a felt-tipped pen to mark the axle<br />
against the outer edge of the collar.<br />
Always use threadlock on metal-to-metal fasteners<br />
to prevent them from vibrating loose.<br />
5. Place a drop of light machine oil on the axle.<br />
Place the wheel on the axle and secure it using the<br />
wheel collar and a 1.5mm hex wrench.<br />
7. Place the retract on a flat surface. The mount for<br />
the retract and the axle will rest flat on the surface.<br />
Use a 2.5mm hex wrench to tighten the two screws<br />
on the axle enough to mark the axle. This will align<br />
the wheel so your model will taxi correctly when on<br />
the runway.<br />
