Required Parts

• Rudder • Fin

• Tail wheel assembly • Tail wheel 1" (25mm)

• CA hinge (2)

• 2mm wheel collar w/setscrew

• Control horn w/backplate

• 2mm x 12mm screw (3)

Required Tools and Adhesives

• Thin CA • Drill

• Hobby knife • Felt-tipped pen

• 6-minute epoxy • Ruler

• Sandpaper • Paper towel

• Rubbing alcohol • Mixing stick

• T-pin • Hex wrench: 1.5mm

• Phillips screwdriver • Threadlock

• Drill bit: 1/16" (1.5mm), 5/64" (2mm)

 Step 1

Locate the tail wheel assembly. Fit the nylon bushing into

the rudder post. Use a felt-tipped pen to mark the nylon

bearing where it protrudes from the rudder post.

 Step 2

Use a hobby knife or side cutters to trim the nylon bearing

as shown. Drill three 5/64" (2mm) holes in the bearing to

give the epoxy something to grab on to when it gets glued

into the rudder post.

 Step 3

Apply a thin coat of petroleum jelly to the wire and work

it onto the nylon bearing. This will help prevent the epoxy

from gluing the wire to the bearing.

 Step 4

Use a small amount of 6-minute epoxy to glue the bearing

into the rudder post.

 Step 5

Prepare the hinge slots in the rudder and fin by drilling

a 1/16" (1.5mm) hole in the center of each slot. Prepare

the last two CA hinges by placing a T-pin in the center

of each one.
