STeP 1:  ASSeMbliNG The TAil Wheel brACKeT

q

  Push one wheel collar into the top of the steering arm, making sure that the threaded hole in the wheel collar lines up with the hole 

in the side of the steering arm, then partially thread one M3 x 6mm machine screw into the wheel collar.

q

  Push the tail wheel wire up through the tail wheel mounting bracket, then 

slide the steering arm over the tail wheel wire and push it down against the 

mounting bracket.

q

  Rotate both the tail wheel wire and the steering arm so that they face the 

back of the mounting bracket. While holding the two in alignment, tighten the 
machine screw, then 

cut the end of the tail wheel wire off flush with the top of 

the steering arm.

STeP 2:  iNSTAlliNG The TAil Wheel ASSeMbly

q

  Place the tail wheel mounting bracket onto the fuselage, making sure that 

the mounting bracket is centred and that the steering arm pivot point is even 

with the rudder hinge line.

q

  When satisfied with the alignment, mark the locations of the three mounting 

screws onto the fuselage.

q

  Drill three 5/64" (2mm) diameter pilot holes through the fuselage, then install 

the tail wheel mounting bracket, using three M3 x 12mm wood screws.

q

  Push the steering arm mounting tabs over the bottom of the rudder.

q

  Thread  the  M2  x  10mm  wood  screw  into  one  side  of  the  steering  arm 

mounting bracket, through the rudder and into the other side of the steering 

arm mounting bracket, to secure the steering arm to the rudder.

q

  Slide the adjustable pushrod connector assembly onto the pushrod wire, 

then install the servo horn onto the servo, making sure that the servo horn is 
angled approximately 30 degrees from centre.

q

  While holding the carburetor fully closed, install and tighten the machine 

screw in the top of the adjustable pushrod connector.

q

  Cut away the excess pushrod wire, then install and tighten the servo horn retaining screw to hold the servo horn securely to the servo.

q

  Open and close the throttle several times to ensure that the carburetor opens and closes completely and without binding. You may 

need to adjust your transmitter EPA settings to achieve perfect settings.

STeP 1:  ASSeMbliNG The rubber SToPPer

q

  Slide the large diameter metal plate over the tubes at the front of the rubber 

stopper, and slide the small diameter metal plate over the tubes at the rear of 
the rubber stopper.

q

  Measure the distance that the two aluminium tubes protrude from the front 

of the stopper assembly. This distance should be 3/8" (10mm).

IMPORTANT

  Discard the shortest aluminium tube. It will not be used if you're using an in-cowl fueling valve as suggested. If you 

don't use an in-cowl fueling valve, use the shortest aluminium tube as the fill tube.

q

  Carefully bend the longer of the two aluminium tubes up at a shallow angle, 

being careful not to kink the tubing as you bend it.

IMPORTANT 

 When the stopper assembly is installed in the fuel tank, the 

top of the vent tube should rest just inside the moulded bubble in the top 
of the fuel tank.

q

  Use 220 grit sandpaper to lightly sand away any burrs that might be on the ends of the two aluminium tubes.

q

  Push the two aluminium tubes through the rubber stopper.
