Step 8
Attach the tail gear to the fuselage using two 4-40 x
1/2-inch socket head screws and two #4 washers.
Important
: Make sure to use
threadlock on the screws to prevent
them from vibrating loose.
Step 9
Connect the steering arm on the tail wheel assembly to the
tail wheel tiller arm with the two steering springs. Thread a
cable end 14 turns into the ball link on the conrtol horn.
Note
: If you plan on using a rear
mounted rudder servo, you can skip
to the next section of the manual.
Step 10
Use a hobby knife to remove the covering from the
openings for the rudder control cables.
Step 11
Cut the rudder cable into two equal length pieces. Slide
a crimp onto the cable, the pass the cable through the
threaded cable end. Pass the cable back into the crimp
and use crimping pliers to secure the crimp to the cable.
Guide the cable into the fuselage to the position for the
rudder servo.
Hint
: If you have an old pushrod tube in
your possession, you can slide the tube
into the fuselage, then slide the cable
through the tube. Guiding the tube through
the structure inside the fuselage is much
easier than guiding the cable only.
