 2. Use a felt-tipped pen to mark the bottom of the
rudder in preparation for the tail wheel assembly.
The first mark is 5/16-inch (7mm) behind the
leading edge of the rudder. The second mark is
3/8-inch (8mm) behind the first mark.
 3. Use a pin vise and 1/16-inch (1.5mm) drill bit
to drill holes at the marks made in the previous
step. Make the holes 1/4-inch (6mm) deep.
 4. Use a hobby knife with a #11 blade to cut a slot
that connects with the two holes so the tail wheel
assembly can be inserted into the bottom of the
rudder.
 5. Check the fit of the tail wheel assembly into
the slot. The wire will fit flush to the bottom of the
rudder as shown. Once fit, use medium CA to glue
the tail wheel bracket in the slot.
 6. Position the bracket over the tail wheel assembly.
With the bracket pressed tightly against the bottom
of the rudder, use a pin vise and 1/16-inch
(1.5mm) drill bit to drill a hole through the rudder
using the hole in the bracket as a guide.

x 12mm sheet metal screw that holds the bracket in
position.

Apply thin CA into the top and bottom of all three
hinges.
