RUDDER AND TAIL WHEEL INSTALLATION

Required Tools and Fasteners: Medium CA or 15min Epoxy (3) M3x10 Phillips Head Self-Tapping Screw

1. The rudder comes pre-hinged to a small section of vertical ﬁn. Test ﬁt the rudder and ﬁn section onto the fuselage. Remove it from the fuselage

once ﬁt is conﬁrmed.

2. Lay the fuselage on its side, and using medium CA (foam-safe is not required), apply an adequate amount to the fuselage. Press the rudder and

vertical ﬁn section into the fuselage, being sure to wipe away any excess CA.

3. Secure the lower plastic support in place by threading an M3x10 Phillips head self-tapping screw through the bottom of the plastic part in the

fuselage. Do not fully tighten, as you can cause the rudder to bind. A small amount of play is needed here.

4. Allow time for the CA to dry, and once dry, check for proper rudder movement. Be sure the rudder moves freely with little to no binding.

5. Press the tailwheel wire into the plate on the bottom of the rudder. Lay the tailwheel plate over the wire, and secure it in place with two M3x10

Phillips head self-tapping screws.

6. Install the rudder pushrod ball-link on the control horn using the innermost hole as shown in the diagram below. Secure it using a #1 Phillips

screwdriver, needle nose pliers, and the following components:

(1) M2x10 Phillips Head Machine Screw

(2) M2 Flat Washer

(1) M2 Lock Nut.
