glued securely once the adhesive has fully cured.
2. Glue the hinges in the rudder using 30-minute epoxy. The installation
of the rudder hinges is similar to the aileron hinges.

RUDDER LINKAGE INSTALLATION

1. Prepare the holes in the fuselage for the rudder servo by threading a
screw into each hole. Remove the screws and place 2 to 3 drops of
thin CA in each hole to harden the surrounding wood. Once the CA
has fully cured, install the rudder servo with the servo shaft toward
the front of the fuselage.
2. Slide a 40 1 / inch (1020mm) pushrod into the rudder pushrod tube.

3. Thread a ball end 12 turns on the pushrod. Secure the servo ball link
to the control horn using an M3 x 10 button head screw, M3 washer
and M3 lock nut. Use a 2.5mm hex wrench and 5.5mm nut driver to
tighten the hardware.
4. Center the rudder servo using the radio system. Place the servo
arm on the servo so it is perpendicular to the servo centerline.
It may be necessary to rotate the arm 180-degrees to achieve a
better alignment of the arm on the servo. Mark the arm so it can be
returned to its position on the servo.
5. Thread a ball end 12 turns on a cable fi tting. Prepare two cable
fi ttings at this time.
