Note: Hinging the rudder follows the

same procedure as hinging the ailerons,

condensed below into just a few steps.

 Step 1

Locate three CA hinges and place a T-pin in the center

of each hinge. Use a 1/16" drill bit to drill holes into the

rudder and fin for each hinge location. Slide the hinges

into the rudder.

 Step 2

Slide the rudder onto the fin. Align the top of the rudder

with the top of the fin. Remove the T-pins and use thin CA

to glue the hinges into position. Apply CA to both sides of

the hinges.

Note: Do not use CA accelerator during

the hinging process. The CA must be

allowed to soak into the hinge to provide

the best bond. Using accelerator will not

provide enough time for this process.

 Step 3

Clean up any excess CA using CA remover/debonder.

Once the CA has fully cured, gently pull on the rudder to

ensure the hinges are secure. Flex the rudder a few times

to work in the hinges.
