❑ # 1 Phillips Head Screwdriver
❑ Electric Drill
❑ 5/64" Drill Bit
❑ Ernst Airplane Stand
YOU'LL NEED THE FOLLOWING PARTS FROM THE KIT:
❑ (1) Nylon Tail Wheel Bracket
❑ (1) Nylon Tail Wheel Tiller Arm
❑ (1) Prebent Tail Wheel Wire
❑ (1) Tail Wheel
SECTION 11: TAIL WHEEL INSTALLATION
❑ (2) Wheel Collars w/Set Screws
❑ (1) Nylon Spacer
❑ (1) 2.5mm x 12mm Wood Screw
❑ (3) 3mm x 12mm Wood Screws
YOU'LL NEED THE FOLLOWING TOOLS AND SUPPLIES:
❑ Rotary Tool w/Cutting Disc
❑ Pencil
❑ Masking Tape
Step 1: Assembling the Tail Wheel Bracket
❑ Push one wheel collar into the molded recess in the nylon tiller arm. Carefully rotate the wheel collar until the threaded
hole in the collar lines up with the molded hole in the side of the tiller arm.
❑ Partially thread one set screw through the tiller arm and
into the wheel collar.
❑ Push the tail wheel wire up through the tail wheel bracket,
then slide the tiller arm over the wire and push it down against
the bracket.
❑ Rotate both the tail wheel wire and the tiller arm so that
they face the back of the bracket. While holding everything in
alignment, tighten the machine screw.
❑ Using a rotary tool with a cutting disc, carefully cut the excess wire off flush with the nylon tiller arm.
☞
Be careful not to cut into the nylon tiller arm.
Step 2: Mounting the Tail Wheel Bracket
❑ Set the tail wheel bracket into place. To align the
assembly, the pivot point of the tiller arm should be even with
the rudder hinge line and the bracket should be centered on
the bottom of the fuselage.
☞
The clasp of the tiller arm should fit over the bottom edge
of the rudder, as shown.
❑ When satisfied with the alignment, drill three 5/64" diameter pilot holes through the fuselage for the wood screws.
❑ Mount the tail wheel assembly using three 3mm x 12mm wood screws.
