80. Thread the strut end itting on the threaded rod at the end of
the strut. Adjust the position of the end so there is no stress
on the strut when it is attached to the itting. Attach the itting
to the mount using an M3 x 15 socket head cap screw, two
M3 washers and an M3 locknut. Tighten the hardware using a
2.5mm hex wrench and 5.5mm nut driver.
81. Slide the outer strut fairing against the wing. Mark the
locations for the three mounting screws on the wing.
82. Slide the fairing on the strut. Use a drill and 5/64-inch (2mm)
drill bit to drill the holes for the outer strut fairing screws.
Prepare the holes by threading an M2.5 x 10mm sheet metal
screw in each hole. Remove the screws and apply a few
drops of thin CA in each hole to harden the surrounding wood.
Î Use care not to accidentally drill through the top of the wing.
83. Once the CA has fully cured, slide the fairing back into
position. Use three M2.5 x 10 sheet metal screws and a #2
Phillips screwdriver to secure the fairing to the wing.
Î The front and rear struts and fairing
can be installed at this time.
84. Slide the jury struts on the itting on the main struts. The
spreader bar is located on the inside of the jury strut on the
side toward the fuselage. Use two M3 x 15 socket head cap
screws, four M3 washers and two M3 lock nuts to secure the
jury struts. Tighten the hardware using a 2.5mm hex wrench
and 5.5mm nut driver.

85. The jury strut will it over the jury strut itting on the bottom of
the wing. Slide the pin through the strut and itting.
Î A small 1/8-inch (3mm) piece of fuel tubing
can be placed between the jury strut and head of
the pin to prevent the pin from vibrating.
86. Use a keeper to secure the jury strut to the itting. Secure
both the front and rear struts.
Î The inner strut fairings cannot be installed when the model
has been fitted with the sprung landing gear option. Skip to
the next section if the spring landing gear has been installed.
Î The inner strut fairings are optional as
they are a non-functional scale detail.
87. Locate the inner strut fairings. There is a left and right fairing.
Check the it of each fairing to make sure they are installed
on the correct sides of the fuselage.
88. Use a #1 Phillips screwdriver or toothpick to remove the
covering exposing the blind nuts used to secure the fairings
to the fuselage. Remove the struts from the fuselage.
Î Thread an M3 x 15 socket head cap screw into each
of the blind nuts. If any of the screws are difficult to thread
in, use a 3mm tap and tap handle to clear the threads.
