8. Mount the tail wheel using 3-#4 x ½” sheet metal
screws. Use the first three holes in the mount.
9. Mount the tail wheel on the center of the fuselage
flush with the back edge. Hold in place and drill three 1/16”
holes through three holes in the mount. Drive in the screws
and tighten them.
10. Locate the spring and cut off excess wire, 1-1/4” from
spring, on the long end. Now bend a ¼”leg at 90 degree on
that end. Place the opposite end in the small hole on the
brassfitting at top of bearing shaft. Note where ¼” leg ends
onbottomofrudder. Markanddrilla1/16”hole. Note:make
sure the wheel is properly aligned before drill-ing the hole.
Harden the hole with thin CA. Insert the ¼” leg in the hole,
insert a #4 x ½” sheet metal screw in the same hole and
tighten. Do not over tighten and strip the threads. Use a
drop of thin CA to secure the screw.
11. Prepare the servos with the proper servo arm for the
rudder and elevators. Mount them in the servo wells with
#2x½” sheetmetal screws(not supplied) Locatethe short
