Status: offline 		cjordan, I slightly curve the wire out, just enough for the pliers to grip onto. Then turn the tail wheel to 90 degree and bend the wire perpendicular to the fuselage. Another word, don't bend the wire straight back because there is no room between the wire and the vertical fin for the pliers.

Status: offline 		Hi,
Just a fellow F-6er. Like you, I could NOT figure out how to properly (or even improperly!) make that @#$%^ 90 deg bend! So I sweet talked a buddy into milling me a little aluminum tail wheel fork assembly which then has set screws into the wire running down from the rudder. That way, the 90deg bend was done in a vice!

Status: offline 		Hi ffdg,
I am also flying this Hellcat. I am using an OS 1.08 two-stroker turning a Graupner 14X7 three-blade prop. The Graupner page at Hobby Lobby shows the 14X7 for the OS FS 120 as well-

The Graupner props are really hi quality, and take black paint nicely.
Good Luck,
Jim

Did you use the stock wheels that came with the plane?
