Assemble Tail Skid
☐
Gather parts F14a, F14b, and F14c. Cut a 4
in. length of .045 in. wire from 12 in. stock and
make 90 degree bend in one end (use the
plan sheet to match length of bend).

Using thick CA glue, laminate F14b on top of
F14a. Nest “bent end” of wire in channel of
F14b and retain with medium CA glue.
☐
Using thick CA glue, laminate F14c on top of
F14b.
☐
Once glue has cured, straighten wire where it
exits plywood then bend down at 45 degree

shape bend at end of skid.
