❑
Slide the large hinge into the upper hinge slot in the rudder and the
small hinge into the lower hinge slot in the rudder, making sure that
you push each hinge in up to the T-pins.
Don't glue the hinges into
place yet.
❑
Using a modeling knife, cut away and remove the covering material from over the precut nylon bearing groove in the back edge
of the fuselage.
❑
Use 220 grit sandpaper with a sanding block to lightly sand each side of the mounting tab on the nylon bearing to roughen the
smooth surface, then apply a thin layer of lightweight oil or petroleum jelly to the pivot point of the nylon bearing to prevent epoxy
from gluing the nylon bearing to the tail wheel wire.
❑
Mix a small quantity of 5 minute epoxy and apply a thin layer to ONLY the mounting tab on the nylon bearing and into the precut
groove in the back edge of the fuselage.

WARNING
✦ ✦
✦ ✦
✦
It's important that when you hinge the rudder to the fuselage in the next few procedures, that you do not allow any
epoxy to get between the nylon bearing and the precut groove in the leading edge of the rudder. You don't want to glue the rudder
to the nylon bearing or the rudder won't pivot right and left.
❑
Allow the C/A and epoxy to dry for about 15 minutes, then pivot the rudder right and left several times to free up the hinges.
✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦
IMPORTANT
✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦
After the C/A and epoxy have fully cured, gently grasp the rudder and fuselage and pull on the rudder like you
are trying to pull out the hinges. The hinges should hold securely. If one or more hinges feels loose, apply more C/A to the
hinge(s) and allow it to completely cure.
❑
Push the rudder and its hinges (including the tab on the nylon
bearing) into the hinge slots in the back of the fuselage. When
positioned properly, the bottom of the rudder should be even with the
bottom of the fuselage and there should be about a 1/8" wide gap
between the rudder counter-balance and the top of the fuselage.
❑
Remove the T-pins from the hinges, and while holding the rudder
tight against the fuselage, pivot the rudder right about 45º and apply
5-6 drops of thin C/A to the exposed area of each hinge. Turn the
fuselage over and repeat for the other side of the hinges.
