Cut a hole in the center of F21 as shown to allow the steer-
ing arm to align with the tail wire.
Insert the steering arm between the stringers and insert the
tail gear through the hole in the stringer, steering arm and tail
block. Approx 3-1/2" should extend out from the top of the H
Stab.
Align the steering arm with the tail gear and tighten it into
place. Red thread locking compound is suggested.
Trim the stringers and F21 so the steering arm moves freely.
There should be approx 1/2" - 3/4" of movement in the tail
gear.
Connect the pushrod and clevis to the steering arm. You will
need to cut away part of the stringer for free movement but
you can do that after the area is sheeted.
Make a 90 degree bend in the tailgear 2" from the top of the
horizonal stab as shown. This bend must be straight with the
wheel on the tailgear.
Fit and glue SS1 in place between F11 and F21
Fit and glue SS2, SS3 and SS4 in place as shown. Repeat
on the other side of the fuselage.Cut around the pushrod
tubes and tail gear as you go.
