Rudder for
right-handers
(view from above)
Kevlar wire to the right!
Cut a slot
in the rudder in extension of the axis of the fuselage.
It is advisable to leave the lower laminate uncut. Next, glue the
lever
into the slot. The
hole of the lever
should be located just
above the hinge line
.
7.1 Installation of torsion springs:
Bend
the wire according to the drawing below. Then,
tip back
the
control surface
of the vertical stab completely.
Stick
the
spring
into the rudder,
one end into the unmoved part, one end
into the control surface near the lever.
The length of the spring should be
20mm
