The main gear installation is quite straightforward, but the front steerable gear is more frustrating and requires quite a bit of foam cutting to accomodate the steering arm and prevent binding during retraction. You may want to try it on a separate piece of foam at first to get the hang of it so you don't damage your aiframe unnecessarily. I used a thinner gauge metal rod for the struts and wrapped some scotch tape around the base of the strut to fill in the gap.
