Tail wheel assembly and mounting:
What you will need for the tail wheel assembly and tiller:
Carbon fiber tail wheel bracket with packaged
hardware
One metal tiller assembly
Fuselage and rudder
Not Provided:
A cross tip screwdriver (Phillips)
One small Allen wrench for the wheel collars
Blue loc-tite
A drill and a small pilot drill bit
7. Install tail wheel to the bracket using one washer on each side of
the brass bushing and install the small wheel collar. Use blue Loc-
tite on the setscrew of the wheel collars
(figure 18).
8. Place a piece of low tack masking tape over the tail wheel bracket-
mounting block. Mark the centerline over the tape on the tail wheel
bracket-mounting block
(figure 19).
9. Place the tail wheel bracket on the mounting block ensuring the
bracket holes line up with the centerline and mark the hole locations for the two large wood screws
(figure 20).
10. Once your locations are marked, drill two small pilot holes for the wood screws
(figure 21).
11. Mount the tail wheel-bracket to the fuselage using the two large wood screws. Remove the bracket
and coat the threads created in the wood-mounting block with thin CA and re-assemble
(figure 22, 23,
and 24).
