Now lets get the tail wheel assembly installed.
Using the pre-marked holes as a guide, drill the two holes
needed for the 6/32 bolts in the CF tail wheel bracket.
Install the bracket with the two 6/32 bolts provided with
blue loc-tite.
Tip#2 Set aside your two tiller springs, we will install those
later after the rudder is mounted
.
Cut out the center wheel opening on the wheel pants on
the side with the wood-mounting block.
With the aircraft resting on the landing gear, we are going
to need to set the right angle for the wheel pants. We used
a standard servo and placed it at the end of the pant
resting the end on the rubber grommets of the servo.
Mark the drilling location for the 6/32 bolts.
Drill the holes for the 6/32 bolts in the wheel pants at the
locations you’ve marked.
Apply some white wood or epoxy glue to the inner side of the four 6/32 blind nuts and install the blind
nuts to the inside of the wheel pants.
Now you can install the wheel pants with the 4/40 bolts and washers. Don’t forget to use loc-tite here
again. Wheel pants tend to take the most vibration.
