Required Tools and Adhesives

 1. Use a hobby knife and #11 blade to remove the
covering and expose the slot in the bottom of the
rudder for the tail wheel assembly.
 2. Apply a small amount of petroleum jelly to the
top and bottom of the tail wheel bushing. Work
the jelly into the bushing to prevent the CA from
seeping in between them and gluing them together.
 3. Use 6-minute epoxy to glue the wire into the
hole in the bottom of the rudder. Take care not to
get epoxy on the bushing that could accidentally
glue it to the rudder.
 4. Slide the tail wheel onto the wire. The wheel
is then secured using the tail wheel keeper and a
drop of thin CA.
 5. Slide three hinges into the slits in the rudder.
Place a T-pin in each hinge to prevent it from being
pushed into the rudder when attaching it to the fin.
