Locate the 3 blocks of laser-cut

⁄16" balsa for the top of the

Rudder.

With CA, glue all 3 pieces together and then to the top of the

Rudder. See Plan Sheet 1. Be sure the block is centred on the top

of the Rudder.

Sand the leading edge of this block to match the round profile

seen on Plan Sheet 1. Do not round the top edges just yet.

Locate the two triangular blocks of laser-cut balsa for the top of

the Vertical Stab.

Glue both blocks together, and then to the top of the Vertical

Stab. (drill a hole to feed your antenna)

Sand the sides of these blocks to match the profile of the

sheeting of the Vertical Stab as shown in Figure 55.

Do not round the top edges just yet.

With a Balsa Stripper, cut another

⁄32"x

⁄32" balsa stick and glue it

to the trailing edge of the Vertical Stab as shown in Figure 55.

Trim the stick flush with the top and bottom of the Vertical Stab.

Using Ultracote, install the Rudder onto the Vertical Stab. Create

this Hinge using the same process used to attach the Ailerons.

Once the Hinge is made, hook up the Rudder Control Cable using

the supplied Brass Coupler and Clevis.

Sand the top edges of the Rudder and Vertical Stab to match the

round profile on Plan Sheet 1.

Sand the tips of the Horizontal Stab to match the round profile

on Plan Sheet 1. Failure to sand the tips of each Stab to a proper

round profile (no square corners) will result in added nose ballast

and a heavier plane.

Mass Balance

Some Mass Balance is needed at the top of the Rudder and in the

ends of the Elevator. Study the Plans to see exact locations.
