Fin/Rudder
•
Locate all the parts to complete this section. The ribs have build tabs that allow the
structure to be assembled on a flat surface without the need for special shims. The
leading edge of the rudder is like the elevators. There are two pieces with pre-drilled
hinge point holes. One is used in the initial construction of the rudder and the second is
added later and sanded to a V along the hinge line. We used dowel pins to align parts.

Using the plan as a reference, cut the
fin spars and leading edge to length and
mark the location of the ribs.
