Step 9
Slide a wheel collar onto the tail gear wire, then the tail
wheel. Finally, slide another wheel collar on, and use an
M3 x 8 screw to secure the outer collar. Use a little
threadlocking compound on the screw to prevent it from
vibrating loose in flight.
Step 10
Secure the tail gear door cover using four
#2 x 3/8" screws.
