5. Attach the wheel pants to the landing gear legs using
four 6-32 x 3/4" [19mm] machine screws, four #6 fl at washers,
four #6 lock washers, and thread locking compound. Adjust
the wheel as needed to center the wheel in the wheel pant.
❏
6. Locate the aluminum tail wheel bracket. Center it on the
fuselage positioning as shown in the photo. Mark the location
of the mounting holes onto the fuselage.
❏
7. Drill a 3/32" [2.4mm] hole though each of the marks you
made. Install and then remove a #4 x 5/8" [16mm] screw into
the holes you drilled. Apply a couple of drops of thin CA into
the holes to harden the threads. Set the fuselage aside until
the glue hardens.
❏
8. Assemble the tail wheel wire as shown with the tail wheel
steering arm and a 3mm wheel collar. Install a 3mm x 8mm
[5/16"] screw into the steering arm and a 3mm x 5mm screw
in the wheel collar. Position the steering arm so it is parallel
to the end of the tail wheel wire. Mark the location onto the
wire where the screws contact the tail wheel wire. Tip: Slightly
tighten the screws and then rotate the steering arm and the
wheel collar back and forth. This will allow the screw to scribe
a mark onto the wire.
❏
9. Using a high speed motor tool or a small fi le, make a fl at
spot on the wire where the screws make contact with the wire.
