INSTRUCTIONS

 

34.  Slide the clear tubing over the cables and half 

way into the holes in the fuse.  Glue in place 
with ca. 

 

35.  Slide two more cable fasteners down the cable, 

then insert the cable through the holes at the end 
of the rudder clevis.  

Loop the cable back and slide the cable fastener 
over the loose end of the cable.  Pull the loops as 
tight as possible, and then crimp the fasteners.  
There should be only slight tension on the cables 
to the rudder, and it should be centered.  This can 
be adjusted by loosening or tightening the clevis 
on the cable connectors.   

36.  Locate the tail wheel bracket and parts. 

   

37.  Fasten the tail bracket at the rear of the fuse with 

two ½ screws.  Drill two 1/16 pilot holes before 
installing. Install so the angle is aligned with the 
edge of the vertical stabilizer.  

.     

38.  Locate the springs for the tail, and prepare the 

ends by bending a loop on each end. 

     

39.  Drill a 1/16” hole in the rudder, just past the 

clevis. 

   

40.  Install a spring on each side of the rudder.  

Shorten the springs if needed to put even tension 
on the arms and keep the axle centered. 

   

41.  Install the tail wheel on the axle, then secure 

with the small wheel collar and set screw.  Use 
some thread lock on the screw. 

   

42.  Place the fiberglass cowl on the fuse and fasten 

with the ½” #4 screws through the holes.  
Measure from the engine crank hole to the 
firewall surface with a ruler.  Write down the 
length.  This is the distance that will be from the 
firewall to the prop back plate on your motor. 

  

43.  Place your engine in your engine mount and bolt 

in place with (4) 8-32 x 1” bolts (Dubro #318). 
Either tap the holes into the engine mount, or 
drill through and lock in place with 8-32 washers 
(Dubro #327) and lock nuts (Dubro #329).  Try 
to position the motor on the motor mount so that
