Install Tail Boom to Lower Weldment
The numbers with arrows refer to the item number in the
table from Step 15.
Mounting Instructions
Insert the tail boom into the lower weldment. Be sure the
tail fins will be vertical when the tower is raised. You
may need to tap the tail boom into the weldment with a
rubber mallet or a piece of wood and a sledgehammer.
Insert the tail boom into the lower weldment until the
hole in the lower weldment matches the through-hole in
the tail boom. If the holes are nearly lined up, but not
perfect, then you may want to run a drill through the tail
boom so the through-bolt will go through (if it was diffi-
cult to get the tail boom inserted into the lower weld-
ment).
Install the long through-bolt with stainless steel washers
and a nylock nut and tighten with a socket and wrench.
Install the two compression bolts to the lower weldment,
and tighten with a socket and wrench.
The tail boom should now be securely attached to the
lower weldment.
