Rudder and tailwheel assembly and mounting
17.
Locate the rudder, the rudder control horns and the 2 slotted base
plates. Use a sharp #11 blade to remove the covering from the 2
pre-cut slots in the rudder.
18.
Trial fit the 2 servo horns through the base plate and into their
proper position flush against the rudder surface. You will need to
trim the front of the base plate so that it does not overhang the
hinge line.
19.
Mix up some 30 minute epoxy and milled fiberglass and use a
small blade to fill the 2 slots with epoxy. Use plenty of epoxy and
be sure to completely fill the two slots. Use an epoxy brush to
completely cover the areas on the rudder horns and base plate that
will glue into the rudder. Slide the rudder horns back into their
proper position and immediately wipe the excess epoxy from the
horns. Carefully check and re-check alignment to insure proper
positioning. Use some denatured alcohol and a paper towel to
remove any excess epoxy. Re-check the alignment one more time
and set the assembly aside to dry. Repeat for the other side of the
rudder.
