f)
Attach the landing gear and landing gear cover to the bottom of
the fuselage using three M4 x 20mm machine screws and
three M4 Split-Ring lock washers . The machine screws will go
through the landing gear cover first, then into the landing gear,
and finally thread into the landing gear mount.

12) Install the tailwheel assembly.
For this section you will need the fuselage and the following:
(1) Tail Wheel Assembly with Steering Arm & Tailwheel
(1) 3-Arm Aluminum Rudder Steering Horn
(2) M3 x 12mm Wood Screws, for Rudder Steering Horn
(2) M3 x 12mm Mounting Bolts, for Tailwheel Assembly
(2) M3 Split-ring washers for Tailwheel Mounting Bolts
(2) Coil Steering Springs
a)
Begin by placing the three armed rudder steering horn on
the bottom of the rudder. The front edge of the steering
horn should be 3/8” back from the leading edge of the
rudder. Mark the location of the two steering arm holes
on the bottom edge of the rudder.
b)
Using a 5/64” drill bit, drill a hole at each location you
marked, making sure to keep the drill bit straight to the
rudder - you do not want the drill bit to come out the side
of the rudder.
c)
Thread one of the M3.5 PWA screws into each of the holes, then
remove the screw. Add a drop of thin CA to each hole to harden
the threads. When the CA has dried, install the three armed
steering horn to the bottom of the rudder with the two M3.5
screws.
d)
Attach the pre-assembled tailwheel bracket to the fuselage
using two M3 x 12mm machine screws and split-ring lock
washers. Add a drop of thread locker to each of the
M3 x 12mm machine screws before tightening them. Be
Careful not to over-tighten the machine screws. This can
crush the wood surrounding the tailwheel bracket.
