Step 1: Installing the Elevator & Rudder Servos
❑
Place the tail wheel bracket onto the bottom of the
fuselage. To align the assembly, the tail wheel tiller arm should
fit down into the slot you cut in the rudder, the pivot point of
the tiller arm should be even with the rudder hinge line and
the bracket should be centered in the middle of the fuselage.
☞
You will need to cut a small notch in the leading edge of
the rudder for the tiller arm boss.
❑
When satisfied with the alignment, remove the tail wheel assembly and apply a couple of drops of lightweight oil or
Vaseline to only the pivot point of the tiller arm.
❑
Mix a small a small quantity of 5 minute epoxy and use it to glue only the tiller arm into the bottom of the rudder. Before
the epoxy sets up, carefully secure the the plastic bracket to the fuselage using the two 2mm x 5mm wood screws provided.
☞
Make small pilot holes for the wood screws using the tip of your modeling knife.
❑
Install the rubber grommets and brass collets onto the
servo mounting lugs.
☞
When installing the collets, make sure the flanges are
toward the
bottom
of the mounting lugs.
