Flite Test Storch Steerable Tail Wheel

thingiverse

This is a steerable tail wheel for my beat up Flite Test Storch. I used PLA but any material should work. The wire dimensions will vary depending on the size of tail wheel you use. Wire should be 2mm in diameter to support the weight. I used a 1 inch wheel. Must drill out holes for the wire. There should be a very small pilot hole where the wire goes thru or into the plastic. Drill the holes by hand (use a pin vise if available) because the plastic will melt if being too aggressive. I hot glued the parts to the plane.
