Overview
The current Tucano kits are supplied with a tail/skid tiedown that was not available at the time of purchase and the factory has shipped this and a couple of other upgrades for my aircraft at no charge.
Installation
The nylon skid was assembled using AN3 bolts and mounting brackets supplied with a pair of AN3 half washers as temporary spacers. These were removed after riveting and provide a small clearance to facilitate removal if required in the future.
The assembly was aligned on the underside of the fuselage then 3/32'' holes drilled through pre-drilled holes in the brackets into the fuselage and clecoed as required. All holes were drilled through #80 drilled and fixed using 3.2 x 8 mm rivets after removing swaf.
