Hangar 9 PiZAZZ Instruction Manual page 18

Step 4. Hold the tail wheel assembly up to the fuselage/rudder
in a position where it's flush with the fuselage bottom. Note
where the wire and tailwheel nylon bearing rest in reference to
the fuselage rear and the rudder. Use a felt-tipped pen and mark
the positon of the slot where the tail wheel bearing will fit into
the back of the fuselage.
Step 5. The tail wheel's guide wire will be installed into the
rudder. Mark the position where the hole is to be drilled into
the leading edge of the rudder for the tail wheel guide wire. It
will be located 1" up from the bottom of the rudder.
Step 6. Remove the rudder. Using a 3/32" drill bit, drill into the
exact center of the leading edge of the rudder to accept the tail
wheel guide wire as shown.
Step 7. Slot the rear of the fuselage to accept the nylon
tailwheel bearing.
Step 8. Trial fit the tail wheel assembly and rudder in place.
Deflect the rudder, making sure the tail wheel assembly turns
freely with the rudder.
Step 9. When you're satisfied with the fit, remove the tail wheel
assembly and rudder from the fuselage. Reinstall the hinges in
the rudder using T-pins to make sure the hinges are centered as
described in Section 1.
Step 10. Mix approximately 1/4 ounce of 30-minute epoxy and
apply it both to the nylon bearing where it goes into the fuselage
and into the hole in the rudder. With the hinges in place,
reassemble the tail wheel assembly and rudder.
Hint: A toothpick applicator may be helpful in getting the
epoxy into the hole.
Step 11. Make sure the rudder is aligned properly (up & down)
to the fuselage and rudder. Wipe away any excess epoxy with
a paper towel and rubbing alcohol. Allow the epoxy to cure
completely before proceeding.
Step 12. With the rudder and tail wheel assembly installed,
apply thin CA to the rudder hinges on both sides, using the
same techniques outlined in Section 2. Be sure to remove the
T-pins before applying the CA. There should be a minimal gap
between the rudder and vertical stabilizer.
Step 13. Wipe away any excess CA with CA remover/debonder.
