Step 1
Assemble the tail wheel per the instructions included
with the tail wheel assembly. The nylon control horns
included with the tail wheel assembly are not used.
Step 2
Position the tail wheel in place as shown, centered
on the rear of the fuselage. Using a felt-tipped pen,
mark the positions for the mounting screws through
the tail wheel bracket.
Step 3
Remove the bracket and drill 3/32" pilot holes at the
previously marked positions.

positioned in the rear of the fuselage, allowing these
screws to be firmly tightened.
Hint: Remove the #6 x 3/4" screws and wick
thin CA into the holes to strengthen the
threads. When dry, reinstall the screws.
Step 5
Using the provided spring, hook up the tiller arm
to the rudder per the instructions included with
