in the slots in the fin. Remove the T-pins from the
hinges and slide the rudder tightly against the fin.
Check that the rudder can move without rubbing the
fin at the counter balance.
10. Saturate each hinge with thin CA. Apply CA to
both the sides of the hinge.
11. Once the CA has cured, gently pull on the
control surface and fin to make sure the hinges are
glued securely. If not, apply CA to those hinges that
are not glued and recheck.
12. Move the control surface through its range of
motion several times to break in the hinges. This
will reduce the initial load on the servo during your
first flights.
