Cut a slot for the t/w strut close to the lower hinge. Support the hinges in the rudder with balsa
blocks.
Round the rudder’s leading edge after its hinges are installed. Enlarge the slot around the hinges
with an X-acto blade so that the rudder hinges swing 45 degrees each way.
Cover the rudder with SIG Koverall and two coats of clear dope. Add white glue rib stitches
over each rib. Then apply 3M hair set tape over the rib stitches. Apply at least two more coats
of dope, lightly sanding away the fuzz between coats.
