Rudder Installation
1.
Gather the rudder, four hinges, rubbing alco-
hol, petroleum jelly and epoxy materials as
shown. Use 15-30 minute epoxy to ensure ade-
quate 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.
RUDDER AND TAILWHEEL 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. 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.
4.
Epoxy the hinges into the fin first and allow
epoxy to fully cure.
