The rudder support board (5) is placed on the blocks, roughly aligned over the holes and muffled with
acrylite. The rudder guide tubes (7) (tubular rivet) are inserted into the retaining plates (6) up to the collar.
Now insert the tubes through the support plate (5) into the Ø 4 mm holes in the hull as shown in the photo.
The outer guide tubes should protrude about 3 mm from the bottom of the ship. First precisely align one of
the outer tubes in both directions (use the rudder). Secure the holding plates with a clip and glue the tubes
(7) and plates (5) firmly with acrylite. Proceed in the same way with the second, outer rudder guide tube
(View Y).
Then place the ruler under the hull on the outer guide tubes. Push the inner tubes through to the ruler. Slide
all oars in as help and align and glue the tubes as shown in the photo.
Next, shorten the Ø 3 mm brass shank of the rudder (8) to a length of 50 - 52 mm (deburr the interface).
Place the lower washers (9) on the rudder stocks and insert the rudders into the tubes (7). Now slide on the
sealing rings (10) from above and fit the upper washers (9). The rudder levers (11) are prepared according to
plan and photo 3. The unnecessary arms of the rudder levers are shortened or sawn off. The fourth hole is
drilled out to 3 mm. Then insert the adjusting rings (12) (7/3mm) and the hexagon socket head screws (13)
(M3x10) and place the rudder levers on the rudder stocks according to plan. Slightly tighten the screws by
hand. Align the rudders (8) and the rudder levers (11) exactly straight. Slightly press and tighten the levers
on the sealing rings. Pay attention to ease of movement. It must not be possible to move the oars up and
down in the pipe!
The crossbar 14 made of Ø 2 x 140 mm brass-wire is provided with 4 setting rings 15 (7/2) and screwed
under the rudder levers with screws 16 (M3 x 6) according to photo 3 and plan.
Then place the 4 rudder levers aligned with the rudders exactly parallel and tighten them with the screws 16
on the crossbar. The rudders must now all move easily to the right and left in parallel.
The steering linkage will be made later.
