The Rudder System; Rc Board Installation And Ballast; Glued Rudder Bearing; Parts For Rc Board - Krick COMTESSE Building Instruction

Stage 2, the rudder system, parts 2.1 to 2.8
Push the rudder bearing 2.1 into the hull from
below and push the rudder support 2.2 over it.
2.2
Insert the rudder from below and align it. Align
the rudder so that it is exactly aligned with the
keel when viewed from behind. When viewed
from the side, align the rudder so that it is
evenly spaced from the hull over its entire
width. The rudder must be freely rotatable in
both directions of rotation.
Fix the rudder bearing and support with super
glue.

Before gluing the RC board in place, coat it
several times with a pore filler.
The RC board can only be glued in after the
ballast has been filled. If the drive set is to be
installed at a later date, the cut-out for the mo-
tor holder can also be cut out later.
If you operate the Comtesse without drive
ro1074 and without wing keel ro1071, fill 1800
g ballast shot 60102 into the keel. Cover the
granulate with epoxy glue so that the layer is
firm and complete.
