After curing, cut the front edge flush with the molded part and cut this corner back
1/16 inch into the 9 inch each hinge location.
Test the fit of the hinge location to the rudder hinge line on the fuselage and drill
the mounting holes for both sides of both hinges, coordinating both parts. Use temporary
screws and check that the rudder movement is unobstructed.
Clean and roughen recessed surfaces at the top of the rudder. Check continuity from
top of vertical stabilizer to rudder. If satisfactory, secure placement and laminate top of
rudder with 2 layers of 2-inch BID tape. Allow healing.
Take a block of styron foam sculpt the leading edge of the rudder counterweight
and finish the curvature of the rudder. REMEMBER TO CHECK IF IT STILL HAS THE
FREEDOM OF MOVEMENT DESIGNATED FOR IT.
Cut a piece of the laminated panel provided and make a rib for closing the vertical
stabilizer in the rudder counterbalance area. With the block, also make a finish to close
the vertical stabilizer. These drawings follow a radius from the hinge line. They can be
better visualized in the photos below.
