Rudders can be installed on this model as an option. While they do help
with directional control at slow speeds, they are generally of limited use
and are not required for this model to fly well. If you would like to install
rudders, now is the time. Here are some pictures of the recommended
installation.
Begin by making a rudder servo mount from scrap foam (see the plans) I
reinforced this foam piece it with 1/16” here for rigidity.
The rudder mount and servo are then installed in the center fuselage
underneath the wing.
Sullivan flexible cable pushrods are installed to each rudder and are
attached to the fuselage sides. Dubro Micro EZ connectors are used at
the servo to allow easy adjustments. The rudder-side pushrod ends are
bent to shape and soldered to the cable before the pushrods are glued in
(see template on plans).
