10. Fin, Rudder and Rudder Servo/linkage Installation
10.1 Fin Preparation and Gluing
The fin is pre-keyed for accurate alignment with the fuselage. Remove the
rudder and the mylar hinges before gluing the fin into place.
Next remove the covering from the sides of the fin post, slide the fin
temporarily onto the fuselage & with a ball-point pen draw onto the top of the
fuselage around the base of the fin.
Remove the fin from the fuselage & carefully with a very sharp scalpel remove
the film from where the fin will be glued to the fuselage, this will greatly
increase the strength of the fin/fuselage joint, pictured on the next page.
