Step 2A: Vertical Fin and Rudder
This manual will provide two options for mounting the rudder servo, the first one will be the
factory intended method (concealed), and the second will be the author’s alternative method.
The factory intended method for installing the rudder servo features a hidden linkage design; the
servo will be installed in aft section of the fuselage to give the Rafale a scale look. This method
requires the use of a pin and socket arrangement to transfer the motion from the servo arm to
the rudder. The hardware kit supplied has the components needed for this installation if the
builder chooses. The following factory photos detail the placement of the required holes and
components.
