TAIL WHEEL INSTALLATION

63. Place the tiller arm on the bottom of the rudder. Use a felt-
tipped pen to mark the locations for the mounting screws on
the rudder. Use a drill and 1.5mm drill bit to drill the two holes
for the tiller mounting screws.
64. Thread an M3 x 10 sheet metal screw into each hole. Remove
the screws and apply 2-3 drops of thin CA into each hole.
Once the CA has fully cured, attach the tiller arm to the
bottom of the rudder using the two screws and a #2 Phillips
screwdriver.
65. Place the M4 lock washers on the M4 x 15 tailwheel bracket
mounting screws.
66. Attach the tail wheel bracket to the bottom of the fuselage
using the two M4 x 15 socket head screws. Use a 3mm hex
wrench to tighten the screws.
67. Connect the tailwheel tiller arm to the tiller arm on the bottom
of the rudder using the two springs. Bend the loops on the
ends of the springs as necessary to attach and secure their
position.

ELEVATOR AND SERVO LINKAGE INSTALLATION

68. Install the hinges in the elevator using 30-minute epoxy. Use
the techniques outlined in the section for the aileron hinges.
Secure the elevators to the stabilizer. Use low-tack tape to
hold the rudder in position until the epoxy fully cures. Once
cured, remove the tape.
69. Install the elevator servo support brace in the fuselage using
three M3 x 10 sheet metal screws. We recommend threading
the screws in the tray and preparing the holes using thin CA
as outlined earlier in this manual.
70. Slide the 19 1 / inch (485mm) elevator pushrod into the
16
rudder pushrod tube in the fuselage.
71. The pushrod will exit at the rear of the fuselage. Use a hobby
knife with a #11 blade to trim the covering so the pushrod
can exit the fuselage.
