STEp 5: inSTALLinG THE vERTicAL Fin
STEp 6: HinGinG THE ELEvAToR HALvES
IMPORTANT A plywood control horn mounting plate is installed in the bottom of each elevator half. Make sure that when you
hinge the elevator halves that the plywood mounting plates are toward the bottom.
STEp 7: HinGinG THE RuddER
q Test-fit and glue the vertical fin to the fuselage, using 30 minute epoxy.
Again, make sure to first sand away the paint from the gluing surfaces to
ensure a strong bond.
q Hinge the elevator halves, using the same techniques that you used to
hinge the ailerons and the flaps.
q Test-fit and glue the rudder torque rod into the leading edge of the rudder,
using 5 minute epoxy.
IMPORTANT Make sure to roughen the torque rod wire to ensure a
strong glue joint.
q Cut the longer length of stranded pull-pull cable exactly in half.
q Secure one end of each cable to each side of the rudder torque rod tiller
arm, using two crimp collets.
IMPORTANT After squeezing the crimp collets down tightly, apply
a couple of drops of thin C/A to each crimp collet to provide an extra
measure of security.
q Drop the two pull-pull cables into the fuselage, then slide the torque rod
tiller arm down into the fuselage.
q Hinge the rudder to the vertical fin, using the same techniques that you
used to hinge the elevator halves to the stabiliser halves.
