Section 7: Hinging the Elevator and Rudder
Step 6
Install the three rudder hinges as you did for the elevator placing
a T-pin through the center of each hinge to keep it centered while
installing the rudder. Install the rudder and remove the T-pins and
push the rudder against fin until there is only a slight gap (1/32"
or less). Deflect the rudder in one direction and using high quality
thin CA glue completely saturate each hinge.
Step 7
Deflect the rudder in the opposite direction and again saturate
each hinge with thin CA. Using CA remover/debonder wipe off
any excess CA on the rudder hinge line. Allow the CA to dry.
Step 8
Once the CA has completely dried, check the rudder for security
by trying to pull the rudder from the fuselage. Use only enough
pressure to test for security and be careful not to damage the
wood structure of the rudder or fin.
