Default RE: PAU 36% Edge 540 Assembly

Mounting the landing gear is pretty straightforward. I like mounting the gear first as it avoids hanger rash from me, the table, and the tools on the table while I am working. First you’ll need to nock out the plywood opening the canister tunnel. Use a hobby knife on the small area not cut with a laser and lightly tap it out with a small hammer.

Find the four holes for the main gear and the single hole for the tail wheel assembly. Again, grab that old soldering iron or xacto and clear the holes in the covering.

Install the Dubro axles on the main gear and fasten it to the fuse with the 4 8/32 bolts with locknuts. Loc-tite is unnecessary here. Once the mains are on, insert the tail wheel assembly and lightly tap in flush with a small hammer. Next, mark the two hold downs and mount them with the four wood screws securing the tail wheel assembly. Remove the wood screws and coat the holes with thin CA, let dry, reinstall.
