❑
Test-fit the tail wheel wire into the hole you drilled. When
properly aligned, the wire should rest within the groove and
the front edge of the wire should be flush with the leading
edge of the rudder.
❑
When satisfied with the fit, remove the tail wheel wire
and use 220 grit sandpaper to roughen
only
the gluing
surfaces of the wire.
❑
Glue the tail wheel wire into place using 5 minute epoxy. Remove any excess epoxy using a paper towel and rubbing
alcohol, and allow the epoxy to set up before proceeding.
❑
After the epoxy has set up, install the tail wheel using two nylon wheel retainers. Very carefully apply one drop of thin
C/A to the outer wheel retainer to secure it into place. This will prevent the wheel from coming off during flight.
IMPORTANT
Do not hinge the rudder to the vertical stabilizer at this time. It will be hinged into place after installing
the vertical stabilizer. If you hinge the rudder now, it will be impossible to install the vertical stabilizer.
