 1. Locate the items to attach the rudder to the fuselage
You will also need to rudder and fuselage assemblies for this
section of the manual.
 2. Apply a thin coat of petroleum jelly to the hinge
point of each of the four hinges. This will keep epoxy from
entering the hinge, which could restrict their movement.
 3. Place the hinges in the rudder. When positioned to full
throw, they will be perpendicular to the hinge line. They also
will be inserted so the hinge point is aligned with the hinge
line of the rudder. Use a hobby knife and #11 blade to trim
the rudder as necessary to fit the hinges.
 4. Use a toothpick and 30-minute epoxy to glue the
hinges in the rudder. Make sure to apply epoxy to both
the hinges and into the holes in the rudder. Use isopropyl
alcohol and a paper towel to remove any excess epoxy. Allow
the epoxy to fully cure before proceeding.
 5. Thread a cable fitting into each of the ball ends. To
make sure the fitting is secure, turn the fitting 12 rotations in
the ball end.
