Tailwheel - THUNDER TIGER TTR4550 Assembly Manual

Attach the clevis with small pushrod hole to the straight end and to
the control horn using the 2x6mm bolt and nut provided.
Use a piece of masking tape to hold the rudder straight. Next tie
the remaining cable to the straight end/clevis assembly, knot and
crimp as before. Trim any excess cable.
Repeat for other side.
Tensioning the cables: to tension the cables, detach one of the
clevises and thread it further onto the straight end just a couple turns
at a time, reattach the clevis, then do the same for the opposite side.
Repeat until cables are firm. Cables do not need to be overly tight.
V. Tailwheel Assembly
Locate the pieces for the tailwheel assembly.
Insert the brass bushing into the tailwheel and place a plastic washer
on each side. Place these between the tailwheel yoke. Run the 2x22
counter sunk screw through the bushing and into the other side of the
yoke. Pay special attention to do this from the side with the recessed
area for the countersunk screw.
Install this assembly onto the tailwheel bracket with the provided
E-clip.
TAILWHEEL & LANDING GEAR
Locate the two tailwheel holes in the bottom of the fuselage and
remove the covering. Attach the completed tailwheel assembly using
the two countersunk screws provided.
Using a pair of needlenose pliers, curl the ends of the springs
around the outermost hole on the aluminum plate and the holes in the
tailwheel yoke. Make sure that the tailwheel stays in line with the rudder.
VI. Wheelpants and Main Landing Gear

lowed by a 4mm locknut. Tighten just enough so that the wheel can
turn freely.Then thread another 4mm nut and push it all through the
landing gear and wheel pant.Adjust the wheel is centered in the wheel
pant then tighten down with a washer and another 4mm nut. Repeat
for other side.
