The Rudder
Connect both rudders with each
other with the CRP rod and clevises.
Make sure that both rudders are
parallel to each other (see diagram).
Apply some crazy glue (CA) to
secure the clevises to the rod.
Check again, that the rudders are
moving freely to either side.

Next use the rudder template to copy the rudders to the included 1.2 mm ABS sheet and cut them
out. Glue the rudders to the 2.5 mm CRP rods and attach the GRP rudder horns with crazy glue or
2-component glue. Glue the GRP connecting plates to the rear. Insert the rudder rods into the brass
tubes in the shell and secure them at the top in the GRP rudder guide, which will be connected to
the main motor bracket with the two GRP rudder guide brackets. Also apply glue to all interlocking
connections of the GRP parts. Finally secure the rudder rods at the top with a washer and a piece of
silicone sleeve. Make sure that the rudders do not rub at the bottom against the brass sleeves and
that they are moving freely.
