Relieve the aft part of the ventral fin for the tail hook
end. See photo.
Paint the tail hook as shown.
Make a bumper block out of scrap wood and paint it
flat black.
Glue the tail hook and the bumper block in place.
Glue the bumper block to the fuse, but not to the hook.
Drill a couple of small holes in the area the bumper
block will be glued to the fuse to allow small “buttons”
of glue to strengthen the joint.
Drill a small hole through the tail hook into the bumper
block and attach with a long screw. Use thin CA to
harden the thread area in the block.
This completes the aft fuse construction. As an
option, after market vinyl graphics were applied to
dress up the rudder.
