3) As shown, assemble the nylon bearing bracket to the

longer of the two leaf springs with two 4-40 x 3/8" bolts and
two 4-40 locknuts. Slip a #2 washer over the top of the
tailwheel wire, sliding it down to the top bend in the wire.
Solder the washer in place to the wire as shown.

Slip

another #2 washer over the axle end of the tailwheel wire,
sliding it back to the first bend - solder the washer in place.
Insert the top end of the tailwheel wire into the plastic
bearing bracket, up to the soldered washer.

Insert the

wheel collar into the bottom of the steering arm, aligning its
threaded hole with the arm's clearance hole.

Install the

4-40 x 3/16" bolt through the steering arm hole, threading it
into the wheel collar. Slip the steering arm in place over the
exposed top end of the tailwheel wire, with the set screw
facing the rear. Leave clearance for free movement and
tighten the set screw in place to the wire.

❑

4) Place the 1-1/4" dia. tailwheel onto the axle end of the wire.

If the wheel is a tight fit, use a 7/64" dia. drill bit to open the
axle hole a little. The remaining #2 washer will be soldered
in place to retain the tailwheel. To protect the plastic wheel
hub, use a scrap piece of 1/32" plywood over the axle and
against the wheel. Slide the washer in place against the
plywood and solder it in place - remove the plywood
spacer. The completed tailwheel assembly is now bolted in
place to the fuselage, using two 4-40 x 1" bolts.

Use

non-permanent Loctite® on the bolt threads to prevent them
from loosening.

❑

5) Use a sharp #11 blade to open up the two elevator servo

cutouts, beneath the stabilizer saddle at the top rear of the

fuselage. Use a trim seal iron to tack the loose covering
around into these cutouts. Trim and remove the excess
covering material.

❑

6) Assemble the fuel tank as shown. Be sure to label the

"vent" and "carb" lines for later identification.

❑

7) Trial fit the tank in place into the front of the fuselage to

familiarize yourself with how it mounts. The front fits into
the hole in the firewall and the end of the tank requires
support. For this you will need to now install two J-hooks,
