Rudder And Tailwheel Assembly - AeroWorks 75cc YAK-54 ARF-QB Assembly Manual

RUDDER AND TAILWHEEL ASSEMBLY

Rudder Installation
1. Gather the rudder, six hinges, epoxy, and ma-
terials 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.
