U 15. Make sure the front of the fuselage sides, top

and bottom are flush with the front bulkhead D.

Securely glue the balsa nose block in position with

medium or thick CA.

U 16. Shape the nose block with a razor plane or a

hobby knife, followed by progressively finer grits of

sandpaper, to match the contour of the fuselage

shown on the plan.

U 17. If you have drilled holes in bulkheads A and B

for the antenna guide tube, install the guide tube. Cut

a hole in the bottom of the fuselage near the aft end

so the guide tube can exit. Glue the tube in position.

Fill the gaps around the tube at the exit and sand it

flush with the bottom sheeting after the filler dries.

Q 1. Position the rudder portion of the plan

over

your building board. Cover it with wax paper.

Q 2. Use the remainder of the 3/16" x 1/4" x 24"

balsa stick you used to build the fin and an

additional 3/16" x 1/4" x 24" balsa stick, to build

the rudder framework. Cut the pieces to the correct

length. Pin them in their location over the plan

and

glue them together with medium

CA.

IJ 3. Use the remainder of the 3/16" x 1-3/8" x

24" balsa sheet you also used for the tip of the fin to

make the

base

of the rudder. Glue the base in

position with medium CA.

Q 4. Cut the rudder ribs from the remainder of the

1/16" x 3/16" x 24" balsa stick you originally used

for the fin ribs. Glue them in position with medium CA.

U 5. Remove the T-pins. Lift the rudder from the

plan and peel off the wax paper. Lightly sand the

rudder to remove any glue bumps and high spots. If

you use a sanding block, be careful not to snag the

1/16" ribs with the edges of the sandpaper.

Q 6. Round the bottom of the rudder as shown on

the plan. Taper the rudder toward the trailing edge

to a thickness of approximately 3/32" or round the

trailing edge the same as the leading edge of the fin.

Perform steps 7, 8 and 9 only if you are going to

build a functional rudder.

U 7. Cut the hinge slots in the rudder in the location

shown on the plan. Shape the leading edge of the

rudder to a "V" as shown on the plan.
