Time to finish this tail wheel project! Hope you all found it enjoyable to follow if nothing else!

Sand the bottom of the mounting plate flat and as close to the holes as you can, they only need about 3/32” of material around them anyway.

Time to finish soldering our lower brass wheel fairing. Attach your thin aluminum fairing and make sure the brass one lines up, trim the sides as needed and then clamp it for soldering.

Soldering on the outside seam will be enough to hold it, it’s very thin and only takes a small amount of heat to allow the solder to run throughout the seam. After soldering sand the joints smooth.

We need to finish out the yoke by adding a small bearing and a control arm. First drill a 3/32” hole in some PC Board. Then draw a 3/8 circle around it. Trim it out with tin snips and then finish sanding on the bench disk sander. Cut a strip for the steering arm that is about ¼” wide and 1 3/8” long, drill a 3/32” hole in the middle and two small holes on the ends for the steering line.

Before we can finish the attaching the yoke permanently we need to smooth out the forks. Mix a batch of Micro-Balloons and 5min epoxy, use plenty of MB. I like the 5 min because of the fast drying time, use whatever you like but just make it thick so it will stay put.
