E-flite Super Cub 25e ARF Assembly Manual

E. Carefully solder the extension to the light.

Use care not to melt the wiring by leaving the

soldering iron in position too long. Make sure to

stagger the solder joint so the wires will fit into

the tube in the rudder. Use heat shrink tubing to

protect the connections.

F. Press the light into position in the rudder. It

may be necessary to use a very small amount of

silicone adhesive to keep the light in position.

Tail Wheel Installation

Required parts

Fuselage assembly Tail wheel bracket
Tail wheel spring (2)
2mm x 10mm washer head self-tapping screw (2)

Required Tools and Adhesives

Thin CA

Phillips screwdriver: #1

Pliers

Ruler

Side cutters

1. Use a #1 Phillips screwdriver to thread a 2mm

x 10mm washer-head self-tapping screw into each

of the holes to cut threads in the surrounding wood.

Remove the screw before moving to the next step.

2. Apply 2–3 drops of thin CA in each of the holes

to harden the surrounding wood. This will harden

the threads so the screws do not easily strip the

surrounding wood.

3. Install the tail wheel bracket using two 2mm x

10mm washer-head self-tapping screws and a #1

Phillips screwdriver.
