I think all is working again now. Please leave a comment on a photo somewhere if something you need is not working still.

Here is where the wheel really wants to sit. I guess it is time to grind off all that epoxy and find a way to tilt the brass tubing forward so that the tail wheel will want to rest properly.

The tail wheel was working just fine till I put on the main wheels and gave it a test roll. This is also the first time I have used a wheel with a metal hub so I was actually able to solder on metal washers to hold it in place.

I was going to use small Du-Bro hinges on the tailfeathers till the unthinkable happened, someone set a "free" box outside their office door with a box of perfectly good 3.5" floppies in it. So now I have hinge material that it just the right size.

After doing some more work today I couldn't resist temporarily attaching the tailfeathers to see if it wouldn't look more like a P-51. The next step is to install the tailwheel in its scale location then figure out how to make all the linkages work.

I went with the FF open frame on the non-movable parts and used some 10 lb. cu. ft. C grain for the movable parts (the aileron will have to be cut out to fit the rudder). The kit supplied wood for this was as heavy as plywood so I opted not to use it.

Some of us are young enough to enjoy video games and old enough to enjoy working with our hands too. Almost done fabricating the motor mount.

Here you can see the brass insert and the hole where the dowel goes. I used orderless thin CA on the brass insert so I will find out in a few hours if it effects me like normal CA.

As promised, nylon wing bolt in front and wood dowel in the rear. I just used the dowel that was supplied in the kit for the rubber motor.
