Fix the rudder at zero deflection with masking tape.
For the vertical tail, install it vertical relative to the
stabilizer and wing (Fig. 2.8), and center it with respect to the
boom. (JW note: I offset mine about 1 cm upwards compared
to centered). Glue the fin into the groove of the fuselage with
superglue. (Fig.2.9)
(JW – I put a small fiberglass patch over the fuselage onto
the fin to increase the durability of the fin bond)
When bonding fin note:
- because airfoil is not symmetric, we make two versions
of the fuselage keel with grooves right-handed and left-
handed. Fig. 2.7 shows a view on the fuselage below
