E-flite Pitts Model 12 15e ARF Assembly Manual

2. Carefully bend the tail wheel assembly as shown in

the image. Use side cutters to remove the excess wire

as shown below.

3. Use a pin vise and 5/64-inch (2mm) drill bit to drill a

hole into the rudder 7/8-inch (22mm) up from the bottom

of the rudder.

4. Use a hobby knife to cut a groove from the hole to the

bottom of the rudder. This will recess the tail gear wire

when it is glued to the rudder.

5. Slide the tail wheel bracket onto the tail gear assembly.

Use 6-miniute epoxy to glue the tail wheel assembly into

the rudder. Use tape to hold the wire in position until the

epoxy fully cures.
