Step 17
Place a T-pin in the center of each of the three hinges that
will be used to hinge the rudder to the fuselage. The T-pins
will center the hinge evenly in both the rudder and fuselage.


Step 18
Slide the hinges into the rudder.

Step 19
Slide the rudder in position against the fuselage. Make sure
all three hinges go into the slots in the fuselage.

Step 20
Position the rudder so it can move freely without the balance
tab rubbing at the top of the fin. Also make sure the rudder
is offset slightly from the bottom of the fuselage so the tail
wheel bracket (when installed) will not interfere with the
operation of the rudder. Remove the T-pins from the hinges.
Make sure there is as little gap between the rudder and
fuselage as possible.

Step 21
Use thin CA to saturate each of the three hinges on both
sides of the hinge. Allow the CA to fully cure before
proceeding.
Important: Do not use accelerator on the hinges.
The CA must be allowed to soak into the hinges.
Using accelerator will not allow the CA enough time to
correctly soak each hinge.
