Step 1. Insert the hinges into the precut slots of the rudder

(do not glue at this time) and install the rudder onto the

vertical stabilizer.

Step 2. Locate the tail wheel assembly. It includes the tail wheel

tiller wire, white nylon bearing, tail wheel, wheel collar, and screw.

Step 3. 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 tail wheel nylon bearing rest in reference to

the fuselage rear and the rudder. Use a felt-tipped pen and mark

the position of the slot where the tail wheel bearing will fit into

the back of the fuselage.

Step 4. The tail wheel’s tiller 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 tiller wire.

Step 5. 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.
