Step 5. Glue the complete tail surfaces in place
IMPORTANT
Make sure the tail plane and rudder both dry fit in position before gluing in place and the rudderpost is
90 degrees to the tail plane, otherwise you will not get the 80 degrees rudder movement needed in both
directions.
▼ 1. Use epoxy glue to glue the tail plane and fin in place. An adequate amount of glue should be used
on the bottom of the fin to secure it to the inside of the fuselage. (Figure 7).
▼ 2. Install the rudder servo and connect the rudder pull-pull control system. (Figure 8)
Figure 7. Glue the tail plane and fin in place
IMPORTANT
The rudder servo fits in the cut out in front of the rudder post. The pull-pull wires will go slack when
the rudder is not in the neutral position. This is normal. Ensure wires can move freely and do not foul on
either the rudderpost or the rudder servo.
ELECTRIC OPTION
If you are building an electric version you may wish to move the rudder servo into the now redundant
throttle servo location and use a longer pull-pull system. This will help the C/G.
