to mount a tail wheel, so drill through the
bottom of the fuse into the hard point
installed, to mount the tail wheel. The
rudder however does not have a hard
point; it will have to be added if you want
a tiller arm attachment there.
#4 Move the rudder back and forth;
make sure you don't have any binding
on the top or bottom. You may have to
relieve the top of the fin and the cut out,
in the hinge area, to make sure the
rudder has full throw.
Test the throw with the stabilizer in-
stalled. The rudder needs to throw to
within 4mm from the elevator halves,
adjust accordingly
#5 Triangulate the area on the rudder
where you will need to install a control
arm clevis; mark it on the rudder. You
will need to decide what system you will
use; either the supplied control arm, or a
shaft style. I used an IM Models™ rud-
der control arm because I could get
more throw out of the rudder. If you
decide to do this, drill a hole in the
rudder hard point where you have it
marked; sink a 12mm dowel center,
drilled for the threaded rod, and epoxy
this in place with thickened epoxy.
#6 Install the rudder servo and arm, to
get a measurement for the cable exits in
the rear fuse. You will have to drill small
exit holes in the rear fuse formers, for
the cable to exit the fuse clean without
rubbing.
#7 Using masking tape, cover the area
on the fuse to be cut, for the cable exits.
Take two Dremel™ cut off wheels and
stack them together, for the right width of
the exit cuts, and cut through the tape
on the fuse, to keep the edges sharp
and clean.
String your cable, test fit and adjust the
exit hole accordingly.
