REDWING RC 50CC EXTRA
Rudder and Tail Wheel
•Install the rudder to the fuselage using the
same steps from above which you followed for
installing the elevators.
•The rudder should have a tight gap and just as
with the other surfaces, flex the rudder bevel to
bevel to assure full range of travel and set aside
to cure.
From the Pro:
Use painters tape
on each side to
secure the rudder. One toward the top and one
toward the bottom of the rudder across the hinge
line. (Elevator shown)
•Once the epoxy is cured, install the dual
control horns into the pre-cut slots of the
rudder.
•Scuff the glue surface of the horns using
coarse grit sand paper or a rotary sanding tool.
NOTE:
Two of the horns will need trimmed to
the proper length as shown.
•Using the linkage hardware, join the two horns
as shown and test fit to make sure they fully
seat in the slots on both sides of the rudder.
•Then mix a small batch of 15 min epoxy and
coat the inside of the slots. Lightly coat the ends
of the rudder control
horns and insert them
into the slots, angled
toward the hinge line
as shown. Do this for
both sides
•You should have
minimal squeeze out
and a small fillet will
form at the base of the
horns. - Clean up any
excess with denatured alcohol.
