Section 10: Installing the Rudder and Tail Wheel Assembly
Step 6
Install the rudder hinges placing a T-pin through
the center of each hinge to keep it centered while
installing the rudder.
Step 7
Align the tail wheel assembly bracket with the center of
the fuselage and drill the screw mounting holes using a
1/16" drill bit. Using the two provided screws, mount the
bracket to the fuselage as shown.
Step 8
Deflect the rudder fully in one direction and saturate each
hinge with thin CA. Deflect the rudder in the opposite
direction and saturate each hinge again with thin CA.
Allow the CA to dry. Use CA remover/debonder to wipe
off any excess CA on the rudder hinge line.
Step 9
Once the CA has completely dried, check the rudder
for security by trying to pull the rudder from the
fuselage. Use only enough pressure to test for security
and be careful not to damage the wood structure
of the rudder or fin.
