Hello.. I recieved the skid tube part  305-123. And that part did not have a 4 washers that go inside skid tube, to attoch the landing brakets with scrues. How and where can I get them.?

This is page 23 in the manual:



The skid locks are 610-322

4mm set screws will also work and won't require the skid nuts. I no longer use the skid nuts and just use 4mm set screws.  They will thread into the landing gear easily and will do the same job.

Cheers

Did you drill the plastic hall for the 4mm.?  Becouse   the 4mm does not fit in that hall.

No drilling needed.  I just push them in until the bite.  they will cut their own threads.  You could drill if needed but I did not.

Cheers.

I've been converting mine to the set screws as well ... those retainers are a PITA. LOL!

I actually used the tail control rod, after I got the end JB welded on it.  You can put the washer that goes in the skid tube on the end, then push it up to where it needs to be and you can turn it, start your screw, and ones you get a thread started, pull the rod out and finish tightening all the way.  Worked great for me.
