left as an option for the modeler.
RUDDER INSTALLATION:
1. Locate the vertical stabilizer, rudder and the tail gear set.
2. Install the vertical stabilizer. Cut away the covering where the vertical stabilizer will
reside. The alignment stab on the vertical stabilizer will align the stab longitudinally.
Use a right angle triangle or a similar tool to make sure that the stab will be vertical
when it is glued in. Mix up a little epoxy and glue the vertical stabilizer in place.
3. Locate the tail wheel assembly and insert it through the hole on the bottom. There
will be some of the rod that will protrude from the top, just behind the vertical
stabilizer. You will have to make a 90 degree bend on the rod. This will be inserted
into the rudder.
4. The rudder is pre-slotted to accept CA-hinges. Locate the CA-hinges and insert
them into the rudder (do not glue in yet). Align the rudder onto the vertical stab and
mark the location where the tail wheel rod will be inserted. Take an appropriate drill
bit size and carefully drill where the tail wheel rod will reside in the rudder. Also
recess the portion of the rudder where the rod is. Use thin Ca to harden the
exposed wood.
5. Locate the small piece of dress fairing and glue it in behind the vertical stabilizer.
6. Install the rudder and use thin CA to glue in the CA-hinges. See picture below for
completed assembly.
