RUDDER AND RUDDER SERVOS INSTALLATION
Rudder Installation
1.
Gather the rudder, hinges, epoxy, Vaseline,
stir sticks, mixing cup and alcohol as shown.
Use 15-30 minute epoxy to ensure adequate
working and cleanup time.
2.
Prep all hinges for installation by applying
Vaseline petroleum jelly or light oil to the
hinge joint. This ensures no epoxy gets into
the hinge during assembly.
3.
Mix epoxy in mixing cup and use a tapered
stick to apply the epoxy inside the pre-drilled
holes in the trailing edge of the fin. Apply
epoxy to one side of each hinge and insert the
hinge completely into the hole.
4.
Ensure the hinge axis is vertical and parallel to
the trailing edge of the fin before epoxy cures.
Wipe away excess epoxy with alcohol wetted
wipes. Epoxy the hinges into the fin first and
allow epoxy to fully cure.
Note: Ensure you have free and full travel of each
hinge.
