 Step 1
Apply a thin coat of petroleum jelly to the tail gear as
shown. This will help in preventing epoxy from securing
the wire to the bushing.
 Step 2
Test fit the tail gear assembly into the slot at the
bottom of the fin. Trim the fin if necessary. Mix up
about a tablespoon of 6-minute epoxy and apply it to
both the nylon bushing where it fits into the fin and the
slot in the fin. Reposition the assembly back into the fin
and use a paper towel with rubbing alcohol to clean up
any excess epoxy.
 Step 3
Place a T-pin in the center of the three CA hinges.
