Mamba 60 Final Manual

1.
Locate the Tail wheel, Tail wheel retaining plate, and the three M3x8 self-tapping Phillips head screws. Insert the tail wheel wire
into the base of the rudder orienting the tail wheel so the wire is angled towards the rear of the airframe as it moves away from
the fuselage. Insert the tail wheel retaining plate into the recessed area at the base of the rudder. Use a #1 Phillips screwdriver
for the (3) M3x8 self-tapping screws to secure the retaining plate to the rudder.
Required Tools and Fasteners
RUDDER AND TAIL WHEEL INSTALLATION
The rudder comes pre-hinged to a small section of the vertical fin. Test fit the rudder and fin section onto the fuselage then
remove it from the fuselage once proper fit is confirmed.
2.
Lay the fuselage on its side, and using medium CA (foam-safe is not required) or epoxy, apply an adequate amount to the
fuselage. Press the rudder and vertical fin section onto the fuselage, being sure to wipe away any excess glue.
3.
Secure the lower plastic hinge in place by threading the M3x10 Phillips head self-tapping screw through the bottom of the plastic
hinge in the fuselage. * Do not fully tighten, as it will cause the rudder to bind. A small amount of play is needed here.
4.
Allow time for the CA or Epoxy to dry, and once dry, check for proper rudder movement. Be sure the rudder moves freely with
little to no binding
