 10. Connect the t-fitting prepared in the previous

step to the red air line of the retract valve, and to

the air line from the retract fill valve.

 11. Prepare the retracts for installation by

securing the landing gear assembly into the retract

mechanism using a 1.5mm hex wrench. Ensure

that you make a left and a right gear leg as shown

below.

 12. Cut two 6-inch sections of of blue airline. Slide

the air line through the hole in the wing, out to the

location for the retract.

 13. Connect the air line to the retract. Use a #1

Phillips screwdriver and four 2mm x 5mm self-

tapping countersunk screws to secure the retract

mechanism in the wing.

 Because of the molding process, the

holes for the gear mount brackets may shift

slightly. The screws will still thread into the

brackets, however extra care must be taken to

ensure that the screws do not cross thread or

thread into another portion of the bracket.

 14. Trim the airline and connect it to the T-fitting.

The airline should be long enough so the T-fitting

rests in the center of the groove as shown. Connect

the blue air line coming from the retract valve to

the third nipple on this T-fitting. Trim if necessary so

there is not too much excess.
