8. Mount the tail wheel using 3-#4 x ½” sheet metal
screws. Use the first three holes in the mount.
9. Mount the tail wheel on the center of the fuselage
flush with the back edge. Hold in place and drill three 1/16”
holes through three holes in the mount. Drive in the screws
and tighten them.
10. Locate the spring and cut off excess wire, 1-1/4” from
spring, on the long end. Now bend a ¼”leg at 90 degree on
that end. Place the opposite end in the small hole on the
brass fitting at top of bearing shaft. Note where ¼” leg ends
on bottom of rudder. Mark and drill a 1/16” hole. Note: make
sure the wheel is properly aligned before drill- ing the hole.
Harden the hole with thin CA. Insert the ¼” leg in the hole,
insert a #4 x ½” sheet metal screw in the same hole and
tighten. Do not over tighten and strip the threads. Use a
drop of thin CA to secure the screw.
11. Prepare the servos with the proper servo arm for the
rudder and elevators. Mount them in the servo wells with
#2 x ½” sheet metal screws (not supplied) Locate the short
pushrods for the elevators and cut 3/8” off both ends of each
one. A Dremel cut-off wheel works fine here. Mount a #4 hex
nut on the end of each pushrod. Now mount a 4-40 clevis on
the ends of each..
12. Center the servo and elevator. Tape the elevator at
the tip so that it will not move. Adjust the clevises on the
pushrod to fit and hookup to servo arm and control horn. Slip
on the safety clips and tighten the hex nuts against the clevis.
13. The rudder pushrod is the proper length. Assemble in
the same manner as described above. Note: We recommend Note: We recommend
you use two servos on the rudder, the two pushrods will act you use two servos on the rudder, the two pushrods will act
as a pullas a pull--pull setup propull setup providing maximum force with no flexing of viding maximum force with no flexing of

14. When using two servos on the elevators, it is necessaryWhen using two servos on the elevators, it is necessary
to use a “Y” connector with a servo reverser in one of the to use a “Y” connector with a servo reverser in one of the
“Y’s” thereby allowing both servos to be mounted in the same “Y’s” thereby allowing both servos to be mounted in the same
position. Maxx Productsposition. Maxx Products International (see notes) has one International (see notes) has one
with an internal pot so adjustment can be made electrically to with an internal pot so adjustment can be made electrically to
one elevator. Their “Y” connector, called the Miracle “Y” one elevator. Their “Y” connector, called the Miracle “Y”

computer radio you can always connect computer radio you can always connect the elevators in two the elevators in two
different channels thereby eliminating the need for the Miracle different channels thereby eliminating the need for the Miracle
“Y” Connector. However, you will need servo lead extensions. “Y” Connector. However, you will need servo lead extensions.
The rudder with two servos will then need a plain “Y” The rudder with two servos will then need a plain “Y”
