TAILWHEEL INSTALLATION 

.....

 Once the tailspring has been installed in the fuselage 

permanently, then you are ready to install the tailwheel. 

.....

Locate the following parts: QTW3, QTW4, QTW5, QTWMl, and the 

tailwheel. Insert the QTW4 spacer into the QTW3 weldment as shown. Trial 

fit QTW5 to the QTW3 assembly with a AN3-2LA bolt. It may be necessary 

to sand QTW3 in order to allow a small amount of vertical freeplay 

between QTW3 and QTW5. Once all the parts fit together smoothly, 

assemble as shown. 

.....

Next, mount the tailwheel to the QTW5 fork as shown, using the 

QTWMI axle and AN3-24A bolt. 

.....

The next task is to mount the entire tailwheel assembly to the 

tailspring. Start by leveling the fuselage laterally, and then trial fit 

QTW3 onto the end of the tailspring. Trim the tailspring if necessary to 

permit QTW3 to fit, or to obtain the nominal 7" length from the forward 

edge of QTW3 to the fuselage. Drill in the single AN3-12A bolt holding 

QTW3 to the tailspring after making sure that the vertical face of the 

tailwheel is indeed vertical. (Otherwise the tailwheel will wear 

unevenly). To mount the Tailwheel assembly permanently to the 

tailspring, mix up some flox and obtain good squeeze out of the flox 

upon assembly of QTW3 to the tailspring.
