  • Need help with Flyzone select scale Corsair

    Hi all,
    I just got my Flyzone Select scale Corsair together, and all the control surfaces set up. My problem is the tail wheel, with the rudder servo centered, and the rudder perfectly straight, the tail wheel is cocked at an angle facing to the right. I looked at the tail wheel but I can't figure out how to adjust it so that it's in line with the rudder, (both straight). The way it is now I think it will be a bear as far as ground handeling is concerned, and the instructions don't address any tail wheel adjustments, I hope the tail wheel can be adjusted independently from the rudder so I can get both the rudder, and tail wheel lined up straight. Any help will be great appriciated.

    Looking at the tail wheel picture in the spare parts section, it may be able to be removed and rotated in its' seat in the fuselage.
    The guys at MotionRC help section might know.

      Thanks Bill, I'll take the tail off and see if I can adjust it from there.

        I don't have the same plane, but had the same issue with my PZ FW-190. What I had to do was adjust the rudder trim to get the tail wheel straight, then adjust the rudder turnbuckle (at the rudder) to bring the rudder into alignment, there was no direct adjustment on the tailwheel and it was keyed to the actuator arm, not splined, so there was only one position it could go in.
        Hope this helps.
