4) Hinging rudder to vertical stabilizer. Using the beveling tool carefully sand a 45 degree bevel
to each side of the vertical stabilizer as shown above making sure that the point of the bevel is
centered and the bevels are the same on both sides. Now lay the fuselage and rudder flat on your
work surface and mark the hinge locations as shown below. Measuring from the bottom edge of
the vertical stab and rudder make a pencil mark at ¼”, ¾”, 2 ¼”, 2 ¾”, 4 ¼” and 4 ¾”.
Using a hobby knife with a #11 blade cut three ½” long slices into the rudder and vertical
stabilizer using your marks as a guide. Be sure to keep the slices centered in the thickness of the
foam. Now slide the hinges into the vertical stabilizer
(DO NOT GLUE AT THIS TIME) and
then the rudder onto the hinges making sure to keep the hinges properly aligned with the hinge
line to avoid hinge binding. Leave a hinge gap of 1/16”
. Next you will need to make a boring
tool. A boring tool can be made from any thin walled tubing, a piece of ¼” aluminum tubing
was used in the illustration below but brass or hard plastic will work as well. The tubing should
have an outside diameter of about 3/16” to ¼”. Sharpen one end of the tubing with sand paper.
Now, using the boring tool bore a hole into the foam until you reach the hinge. The hole should
be centered over the portion of the hinge that is in the hinge slot. (Do not cut into the hinge)
Remove the boring tool, push out the foam plug with a screwdriver or hex wrench and set the
plug aside aside. When you are finished you should have six foam plugs and six holes cut into
the foam as shown below.
