Cut 1-3/16” (30mm) long slots along the hinge
line in the leading edge of the rudder.
Test-fit the hinges of ruder into the slots.
Using a pencil, mark the rudder where the tail
wheel gear meet the rudder.
Drill a 3/32”(2.5mm) diameter hole in tail wheel
gear mounting slot, marking sure that you drill
the hole perpendicular to the leading edge of
the rudder.

Without using glue yet, push the rudder and its
hinges into the hinge slots in the trailing edge
of the vertical stabilizer, marking sure that the
tail wheel gear is firmly seated in the slot in the
rudder. There should be a minimal hinge gap
and the end of the rudder should not rub against
the vertical stabilizer.
When satisfied with the fit and alignment, hinge
the rudder to the vertical stabilizer, using 5 mi-
nute epoxy. Make sure to apply a thin layer of
epoxy to the right and left of both hinges and to
the inside the tail wheel gear mounting slot.
