Rudder
COVERING : In the method described here, the covering is applied through the hinge in one
piece, which eliminates the need for a separate hinge.
●
Cut two pieces of covering, one for each side of the rudder with about 2 cm overhang.
●
With the righthand faces of the rudder in contact, align the hinge line edges flush, and
wrap one piece of film around the hinge line of the assembly. Iron onto the lefthand faces
of the rudder. Ensure that there is good adhesion on the bevelled faces of the hinge
(Figure 1). Cut off all outer edges with 35 mm excess and iron on.
●
Iron the covering on the second side, rudder straight and flat, with a 35 mm
excess overlapping the top side. Trim the excess and iron down (Figure 2).

Elevator
●
Cut the covering for both sides of the the elevator with about 2 cm overhang.
●
First iron the covering on the side with the bevel and the pieces folded back on
themselves (Figure 1). Cut and iron all outer edges with 35 mm excess.
●
Iron the covering on the second side, again with 35 mm excess. The covering
should overlap the first side and trim the excess (Figure 2).
●
Remove covering where the piece will be glued to the fuselage.
