Reinsert the retract unit and bolt in place. Loctite.

Remove the mounting lugs from the rear most door hinge to help with hinge clearance as the
gear swings into the retracted position.
Reinstall the nose gear door.
Attach the cylinder to the nose gear door with a small cotter pin.

Check the nose gear door to make sure it opens sufficiently to allow the nose gear to extend
fully without binding on the door. Trim the bottom of the door if necessary.
It will aid in the removal of the nose gear if you use quick disconnects on the air lines to the
retract unit. Use a servo clip on the steering servo as well, rather than taping or heat
shrinking this connection.
Remove the component board and set aside, if this has not already been done.
Clean the forward fuselage section thoroughly.
Step 7: Joining the Fuselage
Inspect all the mounting holes to insure they are free from debris. Try the bolts and make
sure they all thread easily.
Carefully position the nose section between the intakes. It will be a tight fit, so work
carefully and slowly. Do not force the section in place.
Using the 20 mm long bolts and large washers, bolt the two main bulkheads together.
Using smaller 10 mm bolts and the large 12 mm washers, secure the side sections to the
intakes.
