Section 9 – Rudder Linkage Installation
Step 2
Using a 5/32" drill bit and drill press, carefully drill
a 5/32" hole through the rudder perpendicular (90°)
to the rudder centerline at the marked position. Be
especially careful when penetrating through the
backside of the rudder.
Step 3
Using an 8-32 tap, thread the hole that you just
drilled in the rudder.
Step 4
Use a rotary tool and cut-off wheel to remove the
head of the 4" bolt.
Step 5
Measure and mark the center of the bolt.
Step 6
Measure the width of the rudder. Divide the
measurement by 2 and make marks on either side
of the center mark the distance calculated.
Step 7
Apply a few drops of thick CA on the bolt at the
center. This will secure the bolt and prevent it
from loosening during flight. Install the bolt using
the lines drawn in the previous step to center the
bolt in the rudder.
Step 8
Thread an A-nut (included with swivel clevis) onto
each side of the threaded rod and securely tighten
against the rudder.
