Tail Wheel Installation - Horizon Hobby HANGAR 9 Carbon Cub FX-3 Manuel D'utilisation

TAIL WHEEL INSTALLATION

88. Use a drill and 5/64-inch (2mm) drill bit to drill the fi rst
location for the tiller arm mounting screws.
89. Temporarily attach the tiller arm to the bottom of the rudder
with a M3 x 15 sheet metal screw. Use the tiller arm to drill
for the remaining tiller arm mount screw.
90. Remove the tiller arm from the rudder. Prepare the holes in
the bottom of the rudder by hardening the surrounding wood
with thin CA. The tiller arm can then be installed using two
M3 x 15 sheet metal screws.
91. Use the hardware included with the tail wheel to secure the
wheel in the fork. The brass spacers are located on either
side of the wheel when placed in the fork. Secure the wheel
using the M4 locknut. Use a 3mm hex wrench and 7mm nut
driver to tighten the hardware. Make sure not to over-tighten
the hardware, preventing the wheel from rotating.
92. Carefully remove the M3 nuts from the tail wheel leaf springs.
Apply a drop of thread lock on each screw. Attach the leaf
springs to the fuselage using the screws in the leaf springs.
Make sure to install the tail bracing fi tting under the forward
hole in the leaf springs.
