Default RE: Top Flite Staggerwing

Here's my fix for the tail wheel issue (certainly not as simple as F-82 Fan)
1. fashioned a cutting tool out of 9/32 brass tubing sharpened at the end to drill out the pull pull tube

2. Drilled out the orginal tube and drilled out a new hole approx. 3/4" to the left

3. Pulled out the orginal tube and placed it in the new hole: plenty of room in the fuse to stick your hand up in there

4. Epoxied tube in new hole
