Step 6 – Install the rudder
a. The rudder is installed exactly like the
ailerons were installed. Start by
adjusting the CA hinges so that the line
properly in the hinge slots.
b. A pin can be inserted through the center
of the hinge to make sure it stays
centered.
Install the rudder to the fuselage
c. Slide the rudder onto the hinges and butt the
rudder up against the vertical stabilizer.
d. Make sure there is no gap between the
rudder and the vertical stabilizer.
e.
Drip some CA onto the CA hinges from each
side of the rudder.
Be careful not to drip any CA onto the covering.
The rudder must be able to move freely without any
binding.
Step 7 – Install the landing gear, wheels and wheel pants
a. Remove the belly pan from the fuselage.
b. Install the landing gear with the supplied
screws. Use some removable thread
locking compound to secure the screws
to the blind-nuts.
Install the landing gear
c. Next, prepare the wheels. Insert the
screw included with the wheels through
the wheel hub. Screw a locknut onto the
screw. The wheel must be free to rotate.
Wheel assembly
d. Slide the wheel into the wheel pant and fix
the wheel pant assembly to the landing gear
using the remaining locknut.
Double sided padded tape placed between the
landing gear and the wheel pant assembly makes for an
even stronger assembly.
