Tail Feathers - Max-Thrust Ruckus Balsa Pro-Build Series Instruction Manual

Tail Feathers

12. All of the hinges need to be glued in using slow CA. Start by gluing in the hinges to the tail and fin.
The elevator and rudder can be fitted and glued in to place once you have checked the fit and made sure
of full movement.
13. When fitting the tail and fin the covering needs to be removed so the 30 minute epoxy can set
hard wood to wood. Slide the tail plane in to place making sure it is aligned and spaced correctly and
mark the position on the film that needs to be removed using a pen on both the top and bottom. Slide the
vertical fin in to place and mark the area of film that needs to be removed. Using a sharp knife remove
the film approx 1mm inside of the line, this gives a better finish. Be careful not to cut in to the tail or the fin
structure as this will weaken the surface. Do not fit yet.
