Hinging the control surfaces

The aileron and elevator hinging is done for you already.

The rudder is a removable type, retained with a steel-wire hinge axle, inserted from the top of the rudder.
This wire is taped inside your kit box.  To attach the rudder, slide the wire down through the hinges as
shown.  This feature can make transporting your Yak much easier if you have a small vehicle.  Trim this
wire flush with the bottom of the rudder.
