washer as a spacer. There is a washer on each side of the pushrod. Attach the nut with
Loctite 262.
 Then feed the pushrod for the elevator through the rudder section and down to the rear
bracket. Again fit the bolt with two washers as bearings and the nut with Loctite 262.
Finally check the whole assembly for movement and mark the nuts with red paint.
 Depending on which aircraft you have, Sinus or Virus, you now have to insert the bolt to
secure the rudder wheel bolt or the rudder skid. Use the diagrams found in Appendix 5
and 5 to help with mounting the rudder wheel or skid.
 For this step, you may have to remove a little material from the fuselage bulkhead in
order to insert the bolt from the top. Use a rotary tool to do this and insert the rudder
wheel or skid.
NOTE: If you fit the stainless lower rudder support bracket FIRST, you will not be able to fit the
rudder skid or rudder wheel because it interferes with the part. Make sure to fit the skid or
rudder wheel first THEN fit the metal bracket which supports the rudder.
