Default tail dragger wheel question

just got my extreme flight 54e built and got to maiden her today. was very impressed. im actually very new at airplanes but have been flying helis for a while. anyway i dont know how to get the tail wheel to stay where it needs to. it just turns in the hole no matter how much glue i applied. after flying her today i need to do something about it. i have tape on it right now but that only does so much. anyone have a tip? thanks

Default RE: tail dragger wheel question

You mean it's acting like a castor, swiveling? According to this it looks as if it should be steerable. Two screws in the dark section secure it to the bottom of the fuselage and the third screw looks as if it would go up into the rudder through the slot in the grey metal/plastic arm sticking out the back. I woulid put that third screw in not tight so that "bar" can slip on the screw slightly.
