11. Drill three 3/32" [2.4mm] holes through the rails for
mounting the tail gear. Make two holes in the rail on the
bottom of the fuselage and one in the rail in the center
of the fuselage. When you examine the mounting rails
for the tail wheel assembly you will notice that part of
the rail inside the fuselage on the right side is cut away
to make clearance for the rudder pushrod. Because of
this you will only drill a hole for mounting the tail wheel
assembly in the left mounting hole. If your drill bit is not
long enough to reach the rail nearest the center of the
fuselage, use medium CA to temporarily glue a 3/32"
[2.4mm] drill bit in a 1/8" [3.2mm] brass tube. After
drilling the holes, the drill bit can be removed from the
tube by heating the tube.
❏
12. Mount the tail gear in the fuselage with three #6
x 1/2" [12.7mm] sheet metal screws.
❏
13. Enlarge the center hole through the 1-3/4" [44mm]
tail wheel with a 3/16" [5 mm] drill. Remove the screws
that hold the tail wheel axle in place. Place the tail wheel
onto the axle and place a 3/16" [4.8 mm] wheel collar
on each side of the wheel.
(There is no need for a set
screw for the collars since the collars are just a spacer
for the tail wheel.)
Re-install the axle to the tail wheel
assembly with the screws. Apply a couple of drops of
thread locker to the screws before installing them.
Did You Know? Did You Know?
With its low-wing cantilever monoplane layout, retractable,
wide-set landing gear and enclosed cockpit, the Zero
was one of the most modern aircraft in the world at the
time of its introduction. It had a fairly high-lift, low-speed
wing with a very low wing loading. This, combined with
its light weight, resulted in a very low stalling speed
of well below 110 km/h; (69 mph). This was the main
reason for its phenomenal maneuverability, allowing it
to out-turn any Allied fi ghter of the time.
INSTALL THE ELEVATOR & RUDDER SERVOS
❏
1. Place two elevator, one rudder and one tail wheel
steering servo in the servo tray as shown.
Make three, one-arm servo arms from the servo arms
that came with your servos and one two arm servo arm.
Position the servo arms as shown. Position the servos
so the pushrod wires align with the outer hole in the
servo arm. Drill a 1/16" [1.6mm] hole through each of
the mounting holes in the servos. Secure the servos to
the servo tray with the screws that came with the servos.
❏
2. Center the servo arms and then install solder
clevises on the elevator and rudder servo arms in the
outer hole from the center of the servo arm. Following
the same procedure that was done for the aileron and
fl ap pushrods, center the control surfaces and mark
the elevator pushrods where they are to be cut for the
solder clevises. Cut the wire on the mark.
