4. On the leading edge of the rudder is a slot and hole for
the tail wheel wire. Test fi t the wire into the hole to be sure
there is a good fi t. Remove the wire from the rudder. Roughen
the portion of the tail wheel assembly that fi ts into the rudder
with 220-grit sand paper and clean it off with alcohol. Glue
the tail wheel wire into the hole in the LE of the rudder with
5 minute epoxy. Be sure not to get glue onto the nylon tab
where it rotates on the wire (oil applied on the tail wheel
wire around the tab will help prevent glue from sticking to
it). Lightly coat both sides of the nylon tab with epoxy and fi t
the fi n and rudder to the fuselage. Allow the glue to harden
before moving on to the next step.

5. Temporarily install the tail wheel, two 3/32" [2.7mm]
wheel collars and a 4-40 set screw onto the tail wheel wire.
Mark the location where the set screws make contact with
the wire. File a fl at spot on the wire on the marks.
Once completed, secure the tail wheel to the tail wheel
assembly. Be sure that the tail wheel rotates freely on the
axle. Oil the axle if necessary.
