 Step 17

As you slide the rudder onto the tail gear wire, slide the

hinges for the rudder into the slots in the fin. The rudder

should fit tight against the fin, and should not bind at the

balance tab when the rudder is in operation.

 Step 18

Once you have checked the fit of the hinges and tail

gear wire, remove the rudder from the fin. Apply a small

amount of 30-minute epoxy on the tail gear wire and into

the hole in the rudder to secure it in the rudder. Repeat

Steps 16 and 17 to place the rudder back into position.

 Step 19

Remove the T-pins from the hinges. Apply thin CA to

both sides of the three hinges. Allow the CA to cure

(without using accelerator) before proceeding to the

following steps.

Note: The CA must be allowed to cure without

the use of accelerator. Using accelerator

will not allow the CA to fully soak into the

hinge, and could produce a poor bond

between the hinges and surrounding wood.

 Step 20

Once the CA has fully cured, gently pull on the fin and

rudder to make sure all the hinges are glued securely.
