2. Slide the pushrod wire into the tube in the

fuselage. Make sure the pushrod is located in the

correct tube or the steering arm and servo will not

line up with the pushrod correctly.

Always use threadlock on metal-to-metal fasteners

to prevent them from vibrating loose.

3. Use a 1.5mm hex wrench to start the 3mm x

4mm setscrew in the steering arm.

4. Locate the pre-bent tail wheel wire. Note the

position of the notch in the wire: this will be aligned

with the setscrew in the steering arm to prevent the

wire from rotating when installed.

5. Position the steering arm in the bracket as shown.

Slide the tail wheel wire through the bracket and

steering arm. Tighten the setscrew in the steering

arm on the flat of the tail wheel wire. Use a 1.5mm

hex wrench to tighten the setscrew.

Always use threadlock on metal-to-metal fasteners

to prevent them from vibrating loose.

6. Slide the 1-inch (25mm) tail wheel on the tail

wheel wire. Use a 3mm x 4mm machine screw and

2mm wheel collar to secure the tail wheel to the

wire. Use a #1 Phillips screwdriver to tighten the

screw in the wheel collar.
