Default RE: Dymond 52" Tiger moth

I had to make some small modification to the tail wheel bracket by removing some of the nylon bearing to allow proper fit with the rudder. I cut an 1/8 piece of the bearing off of the bottom, (See picture) The bracket was binding on the bottom of the fuselage and by removing some of the bearing, it allowed the tail wheel control arm to move up removing the binding of the bracket at the bottom of the fuselage. I filed a couple of grooves to the rod for gluing. I then glued the tail surfaces together and removed the covering.

After it dried, I added the tail wheel bracket to the rudder at the same time I gluded it to the fuselage.
