 1. Slide the pushrod guide tube in the fuselage as

shown. Use sandpaper to scuff the tube where it

passes the mounts in the fuselage so the CA will

adhere to the tube. The end of the tube will protrude

from the fuselage by 1/32-inch (1mm) use thin CA to

glue the tube in the fuselage at the positions shown.

 2. Insert the Z-bend of the pushrod wire into the nose

gear steering arm as shown.

 3. Slide the pushrod wire through the tube and into

the fuselage. Guide the wire through the connector on

the rudder servo horn. The steering arm will fit in the

bracket as shown.

 4. Use a flat file to make a 1/4-inch (6mm) wide flat

on the bottom of the nose gear wire. This will provide

a place to tighten the setscrew when the wheel collar

is installed.

Always use threadlock on metal-to-metal fasteners

to prevent them from vibrating loose.

 5. Attach the wheel to the nose gear wire using two

2.5mm wheel collars and setscrews. Tighten the

setscrews using a 1.5mm hex wrench.
