q Carefully cut off the excess portion of the tail wheel wire so that it's flush with
the tail wheel tiller arm.
q Align the tail wheel bracket onto the bottom of the fuselage. When aligned
properly the pivot point of the tiller arm should be even with the rudder hinge line
and the tail wheel bracket should be centred in the middle of the fuselage.
q When satisfied with the alignment, drill three 2mm (5/64") pilot holes
through the fuselage, then install the tail wheel bracket using three M3 x 8mm
wood screws.
q Using a 1.5mm hex wrench, loosen the grub screw in the side of the tiller
arm, line up the tail wheel with the rudder, then tighten the grub screw firmly.
q Install the preformed main landing gear, using three M4 x 16mm socket-cap
screws and three M4 flat washers.
q Install one threaded axle onto one side of the preformed main landing gear,
using one hex nut. Tighten the hex nut firmly, using a 10mm socket wrench.
