hinges into the rudder first with epoxy and allow to cure. Use a pushrod to apply epoxy to the holes in
the rudder post and push the rudder into position and wipe away any excess epoxy with a paper towel
and denatured alcohol.

set screw will seat and use a drop of blue Loctite on each set screw. Be sure to mount the threaded steel
fitting on the top of the carbon fiber bracket and secure with the nylon insert lock nut on the bottom to
allow proper clearance between the gear and the rudder bottom.
