Step 1
Attach the landing gear to the bottom of the fuselage using
three 6-32 x 1/2" socket head bolts and three #6 washers.
Put a little threadlock on the bolts to prevent them from
vibrating loose during flight.
Step 2
Slide a 4mm x 40mm socket head bolt into a wheel. Slide
a 4mm washer onto the bolt then thread a 4mm nut onto
the bolt. Leave the bolt loose enough that the wheel can
spin freely on the bolt. Use a drop of thin CA or threadlock
to keep the nut in position.
Step 3
Thread a second 4mm nut onto the bolt. Slide the bolt into
the landing gear. Place a second 4mm washer onto the
bolt, then start the 4mm locknut onto the bolt. The order
is: wheel, 4mm nut, 4mm washer, 4mm nut, landing gear,
4mm washer and 4mm locknut.
