2. ‡ Working over the rudder portion of the plan,
place the laminated RUDDER TOP over the
plan and trim, if needed. When satisfied with
the fit pin in place.
‡ Follow the same procedure for the laminated
RUDDER BOTTOM.
3. ‡ Using 3/8” square balsa, glue the rudder L.E.
to the rudder top.
4. ‡ Use 1/8 x 3/8” balsa sticks, as shown, to form
the trussing.
5.
‡ Complete the trussing. Then use 5/16 x 3/8”
balsa to form the rudder trailing edge.
HINGING AND ROUNDING
1. ‡ Referring to the plans, mark the hinge locations
onto the elevator.
2. ‡ Fit the stab and the elevator together and, use
balsa sheeting scrap to make a 5/64” spacer
between the elevator air balance and the stab.
‡ Then, transfer the hinge locations from the ele-
vator to the stab.
3. ‡ Again referring to the plans, mark the hinge
locations onto the rudder.
‡
As in the previous step, make a 5/64” scrap
balsa spacer between the fin and the rudder air
balance.
‡ Transfer the hinge locations from the rudder to
the fin.
4. ‡ Using the CGP CENTERLINE MARKER,
scribe a centerline onto the elevator L.E.
‡ Next, scrib a line onto the stab T.E.

the fin T.E.
