installation. Attach all four mounts.
107. Attach the landing gear to the mount using two M3 x 15
socket head cap screws, four M3 washers and an M3 locknut.
108. Repeat the previous step for the remaining landing gear.
109. Attach the shock support brace to the landing gear mounts
using two M3 x 15 socket head cap screws, four M3 washers

110. Attach the shocks to the shock support brace using two M3
x 15 socket head cap screws, four M3 washers and two M3

of the shock would be too weak to support the
landing loads of a model of this size and weight.
