Tip:

 While working with adhesives in this area apply thin parcel tape over the sides of 

the fin in the area of the bearing and cut through the tape to expose the holes. This 
will ensure that any excess adhesive does not spoil the finish on the fuselage.

Completing the tail-plane halves. 

 

Work on the uncovered tail-plane panels is limited to finishing the root outline to match the 
profile of the fin. The tail-plane halves are factory finished, but some may wish to achieve an 
even  more  accurate  match  by  carefully  working  the  root  area  using  a  fine  grade  abrasive 
paper.   
 

Note:

  The  joiner  tubes  installed  in  the  tail-plane  halves  incorporate  the  integrated  all 

moving TA Tail-Lock mechanism.  
 

Before fitting the joiners into the brass tubes for the first time, check that the wire joiners are 
perfectly straight and burr free. When pressing the tail-plane halves into place, you will feel a 
mild mechanical resistance which is sufficient to hold the tail-plane halves securely in-place 
during flight.

 

Vertical stabiliser and rudder  

 

Note:

 Customers building the ARC version may wish to take this opportunity to adjust the 

profile of the leading edge of the rudder to match the trailing edge of the fin.  

 
The  rudder  supplied  in  the  kit  is  complete  and  requires  only  minimal  finishing.  The  rudder 
hinge is formed by a Steel wire running in a factory installed pivot tube in the leading edge of 
the rudder.  
 
Start  by  cleaning  up  the  rudder  push-rod  shroud  using  a  suitable  (8-10mm)  round  file. 
Similarly file a small semi-circular recess in the top of the fin to clear the leading edge of the 
rudder. You may also find it necessary to generally clean-up the area around the inside edge 
of fin post, to ensure that the rudder can move freely within the opening

 

Locate and open-up the two hinge points along the leading edge of the rudder and carefully 
mark the corresponding hinge points along the centre of the rudder post. Now drill the holes 
using a Ø 3.5 mm drill to accommodate eye-bolts used to form the hinge, and screw these 
into the rudder post, but do not bond in place just yet. Insert the fibreglass hinge post through 
the guide tube located in the leading edge of the rudder such that it passes through the holes 
in the eye-bolts – to form an effective hinge. Now carefully check the movement and throw of 
the rudder with respect to the fin and adjust the depth of the hinge, by screwing in (or out) the 
eye-bolts  until  you  find  the  optimum  depth.  Mark  the  position  of the  eye-bolts  before finally 
bonding  into  place  using  a  suitably  thickened  epoxy,  re-install  the  rudder  and  adjust  as 
necessary before finally allowing the hinge points to set.     
 

Tip:

 It is possible to unscrew the hinge bolt and reset it with a little more adhesive should 

you find it necessary to make an adjustment after the hinge bolts have been set into the fin 
post.  

 
The rudder is attached by pressing the supplied composite hinge rod down through the pivot 
tube from the top, and engaging in each of the hinge points.
