Step 1
Prepare the tail gear assembly by installing the tail gear
support, steering arm and tail gear mount onto the tail
gear wire. Complete the assembly by installing a 1/8"
wheel collar using a 3mm setscrew.
Note
: The steering arm faces the same
direction as the wheel support wire, and the
setscrew on the steering arm is also facing
towards the wheel wire. Use threadlock on the
setscrew to prevent the screw from loosening
during flight.
Step 2
Attach the brass connector to the inside hole of the
steering arm using the connector backplate.
Step 3
Slide the steering arm against the mount. Secure the arm
using a 3mm x 8mm screw. Use threadlock on the screw
here as well.
