2. Carefully bend the tail wheel assembly as shown in
the image. Use side cutters to remove the excess wire
as shown below.
3. Use a pin vise and 5/64-inch (2mm) drill bit to drill a
hole into the rudder 7/8-inch (22mm) up from the bottom
of the rudder.
4. Use a hobby knife to cut a groove from the hole to the
bottom of the rudder. This will recess the tail gear wire
when it is glued to the rudder.
5. Slide the tail wheel bracket onto the tail gear assembly.
Use 6-miniute epoxy to glue the tail wheel assembly into
the rudder. Use tape to hold the wire in position until the
epoxy fully cures.
