Default RE: Byron Wedell Williams Racer Build

I felt it would be easier to set the tailwheel mount before gluing on the stab. Measure for midline the TE of the plate is 1/2 in from the fuse TE. Drill the 7/32 holes. Blind nuts set in the mount plate and I used Aeropoxy to glue it in. The bottom of the plate was "buttered" with Aeropoxy so no void would be present between the fiberglass and the wood. The plate is then secured with the leaf spring using 8-32 cap screws and allowed to cure. Be careful not to get Aeropoxy near the threads. Ran a fillet on both sides of the plate and it's done.
