are two pre-drilled holes. Insert and then remove a #4 x 3/8"
[9.5mm] screw into each of the holes. Apply a drop of thin CA
glue into each of the holes to harden the threads. Once the
glue hardens secure the tail wheel bracket to the fuselage.

5. Center the rudder and the tail wheel. Secure the two
springs to the arm on the tail wheel assembly and the “T”

threads. After the glue has hardened, secure the bracket to
the fuselage with the screws.
