 8. Attach the tail wheel assembly and the aluminum
spreader tab on the fuselage using two 3mm x 15mm socket
head wood screws and two 3mm washers. Tighten the
screws using a 2.5mm hex wrench.
 9. Connect the arm from the tail wheel to the tiller arm
using two tail wheel steering springs. Make a loop on each
end of the spring with needle nose pliers. Use care when
bending the springs so the tail wheel is aligned with the
rudder. Cut the excess spring using side cutters.
