Step 5. Using a hobby knife, cut a slot or groove into the back

of the fuselage as marked to accept the tail wheel pivot bushing

in Step 3.

Note: When you attach the elevator, you’ll have to cut a small

groove so the bushing clears the elevator.

Step 6. Trial fit the tail wheel assembly and rudder in place.

Deflect the rudder, making sure the tail wheel assembly turns

freely with the rudder.

Step 7. When you’re satisfied with the fit, remove the tail wheel

assembly and rudder from the fuselage. Reinstall the hinges in

the rudder using T-pins to make sure the hinges are centered as

described in Section 1. You will CA the hinges to the vertical

stabilizer after the next step.

Step 8. Apply petroleum jelly or oil to the music wire area of

the tail wheel assembly, especially the pivot area, so it will not

adhere to the epoxy.

Note: Do not apply to the music wire area that will go into the

rudder. This part of the music wire will be epoxied into

the rudder.
