Default Installing Robart Cub gear

I picked up a set of these for my 1/5 Sig Cub and really have no idea what is the best way to install them.
Need some help before I make a mess of it.
Thanks

Well, you bolt them on just like any gear,,, You may need to add hard points on the right spots on your plane,,

not really sure what you're unsure about

Robart's site has this sketch, which may help. These are somewhat complex (at least if they're the same as the quarter-scale set).

Here's a couple of pictures that may help. The mounted gear on this 1/5 scale Sig Cub is a Wallace scale gear, the Robart mounts the same way. I recommend putting a couple of basswood crossmembers inside the fuselage to screw the gear into, it will hold much better than balsa. The picture showing me holding a second set of gear struts is the Wallace gear mounted, and I am holding the Robart gear.
