Pull-Pull Rudder Control
Carefully locate the control horn slot and cut away the
covering on both sides of the rudder.
Use sand paper to roughen up the center of the control
horn so the epoxy will adhere better. File a radius on the
corners so the control horn can be rotated through the
rudder slot.
Tests fit the control horn to the slot. Use a file to modify
the slot as needed. Center it side to side and align the
holes with the hinge line. The control horn should be
symmetrical about the hinge line.
Apply masking tape around the control horn slot on both
sides of the rudder.
Use 30 minute epoxy to glue the control horns in place.
Center the control horn, peal the masking tape away, and
clean up with alcohol.
Check the control horn alignment, centering it side to
side and align the holes with the hinge line. The control
horn should be symmetrical about the hinge line.
Position the rudder and control horn so gravity does not
reposition the control horn as the epoxy cures.
