BUILDING THE TAIL SECTION
1. D PREPARE THE FIN AND RUDDER
Prepare the forward and rear fin sections by sand-
ing if necessary for a good fit. Working over the plans, butt
glue the fin section together. After the glue is dry, sand
both sides of the fin. Also sand both sides of the rudder.
* The 20 size fin is in one piece.
* The 60 size rudder is in two pieces. Glue these together.
Note: Specific instructions for tricycle gear installation are
in italics.
2. D CUT THE HINGE SLOTS IN THE FIN AND RUDDER;
CUT OUT RUDDER FOR JOINER CLEARANCE
Draw centerlines down the trailing edge of the fin
and the leading edge of the rudder. Mark and cut the hinge
slots. Two hinges are used above the stabilizer. For con-
ventional gear (Tail dragger) the third hinge should be just
below the stab and above the tailwheel strut tab. (For tri-
cycle gear the third hinge should be near the bottom of the
rudder. Check the plans.) Relieve (cut out) the leading edge
of the rudder for elevator joiner wire clearance. (Shape the
rudder leading edge to a "V"now for tricycle gear.) For con-
ventional gear wait to shape the leading edge until the
hole is drilled for the tailwheel tiller arm later.
3. D GLUE THE STAB PARTS TOGETHER; SAND THE
STAB AND ELEVATORS
Check the fit and butt glue the stabilizer forward and
rear sections together. Sand both sides of the stabilizer
and elevator halves.
* The 20 size stab is in one piece.
4. D DRILL HOLES IN THE ELEVATOR HALVES FOR
ELEVATOR JOINER WIRE
Draw a front to back centerline down the top side of
the stab and a centerline down the leading edges of the
elevator halves. Mark the center of the elevator joiner wire.
Align the stab, elevator and joiner wire and mark the hole
locations for the joiner wire arms on the centerline of the
elevator leading edge. Drill the holes.
