70. Guide the lead from the retract along the side of the wheel
well. The lead can be retrieved in the same area as the
aileron extension.
71. Secure the retract in the wing using the hardware included
with the retract. Place a drop of threadlock on each of the
screws before installing them in the retract. Use a 2mm hex
wrench to tighten the screws.
 It may be necessary to use the spacers included with
the retracts to make sure there is no torsional stress on the
retract frame when tightened into position. Torsional stress can
sometimes cause intermittent operation of the retract unit.
72. With the gear in the up position, the axle must be centered in
the wheel well. Reposition the axle as necessary.
 We recommend making two flat areas with a
file to tighten the screws onto. This will prevent the
axle from rotating on the landing gear wire.
73. Place two nylon spacers on the axle. Apply a drop of light
machine oil on the axle.
74. Slide the wheel on the axle. Place the wheel collar included
with the retracts on the axle. Use the M3 x 3 setscrew to
secure the wheel collar on the axle. Make sure to place a
drop of threadlock on the setscrew before tightening it with a
1.5mm hex wrench.

75. Check that there is a slight amount of toe-in (roughly
1-degree). Adjustments can be made by loosening the two
setscrews on the strut near the mount using a 1.5mm hex
wrench.
 Always use threadlock on metal-to-metal fasteners.
76. Double-check that the wheel is centered in the wheel well.
Reposition the axle if necessary or bend the strut slightly so
the wheel is perfectly centered.
77. Trim the covering 1/8-inch (3mm) forward and aft of the
notch in the landing gear door to expose the underlying wood.
78. Use medium CA to glue the gear door mounts to the gear
door.
79. Make sure to prepare a left and right gear door.
