17. P
ull the wire up through the control horn’s hole and bring it around the control horn; then insert the end of this wire
i
nto the predrilled hole at the bottom of the right side of the rudder [09:04].
18. Bring together the wire’s two ends at the left side of the rudder, and slide a crimp tube onto these two loose ends.
Insert the wire’s ends into opposite sides of the hole in the rudder’s left control horn. Use pliers to pull the wire’s
ends to tighten the wire evenly across both sides of the rudder; then use pliers to securely clamp the wires’ ends
within the crimp tube [09:30]. Trim/cut off and discard the excess wire ends.
19. Using the two predrilled holes and preinstalled T-nuts in the
bottom rear of the fuselage, attach the tail wheel’s
spring-mount to the fuselage using the two(2)
supplied 1.5 cm (5/8-inch) bolts.
Secure each bolt into its T-nut with Loctite
Screw Lock or equivalent [10:37].
20. Attach a metal T-bracket to the bottom of the rudder
with the supplied three(3) 7 mm (¼-inch) wood
screws. Secure each screw with Loctite Screw
Lock or equivalent compound.
Position a coil spring on each side of and
between the T-bracket and the tail-wheel’s
steering arm. Adjust each spring’s length to align
the tail wheel with the rudder (and to provide shock
relief to the rudder servo); secure both ends of each spring
by winding the spring’s wire ends around the steering arm
and T-bracket [11:03].
21. Position the windshields with their coaming sides ‘up’ at the front of
each cockpit. Mount each windshield by driving supplied 5 mm (3/16-
inch) wood screws through each windshield into the predrilled holes on
each side of the fuselage; install a third screw at the center of each
windshield [12:46]. Set aside the fuselage.
22. Connect two(2) aileron servos to two(2) 18-inch servo-wire extensions.
(Note: To help ensure the security of these extension connections, we
recommend you install an optional “servo extension safety clip” at
each wire-extension junction.)
