Tail Wheel Installation - Hangar 9 Timber 110 30-50cc Instruction Manual

TAIL WHEEL INSTALLATION

1. Place the steering arm on the bottom of the rudder with the leading
edge of the arm aligned with the rudder hinge line. Make the
locations for the mounting screws on the rudder using a felt-tipped
pen.
2. Use a drill and 1/16-inch (1.5mm) drill bit to drill the two locations
for the steering arm mounting screws.
3. Prepare the holes by threading an M2 x 15 sheet metal screw in
each hole. Remove the screw and place a few drops of thin CA in
each hole. Once the CA has fully cured, use the screws and a #2
Phillips screwdriver to attach the steering arm on the bottom of the
rudder.
4. Locate the tail wheel assembly and leaf springs. The springs are
different lengths. The longer spring will fi t against the assembly, and
the short spring against the fuselage.
5. Remove the three M3 x 30 socket head cap screws and place a
drop of threadlock on the threaded end of each screw. Fit the short
spring, long spring, and assembly on the fuselage. Use the three
screws and a 2.5mm hex wrench to secure the springs against the
fuselage.

the spring around the main wire two or three times. Cut any excess
wire using side cutters.
