Default Post-xmas UCD3C assembly tips and customizations.

One other tip I forgot to mention. If you go with a different tailwheel like the sullivan you will have room to add another hinge to the bottom of the rudder. This is a very good idea considering that the stock tailwheel acted as a hinge or at least a stiffener while in flight. The problem with the stock tail wheel is that a hard landing will exert lots of force on that rudder and possibly cause problems. Thats the great thing about the sullivan tail wheel, the spring takes a lot of the impact and what gets by it is absorbed by the fuse.
