Rudder Assembly
In the following steps, the leading edge ribs and the leading edge strip will be installed on the
rudder. The leading edge strip may be fitted to the ribs before gluing on the ribs. Some builders
prefer to glue the leading edge strip to the ribs first and then glue the entire assembly to the rudder
spar.
Figure 1
❏
Install all leading edge ribs. On the rib above the upper hinges, be sure to observe the
80mm dimension so that you have sufficient room to remove the hinge bolt. See Drawing
No. 411. See Figure 1. Scuff-sand the plywood before gluing.
Figure 2
❏
Install the leading edge strip. For the simplest construction and stiffness during assembly,
the leading edge strip should be continuous to the bottom of the rudder. See Figure 2.
Figure 3
❏
At the bottom of the rudder, install the diagonal leading edge rib, P/N 414-3, and the
piece of spruce along the bottom of the rudder. See Figure 3. Scuff-sand the plywood
before gluing.
