 Step 13
Use a pin drill and 1/16-inch (1.5mm) drill bit to drill
a hole in the center of each hinge slot in the fin and
rudder. This will provide a tunnel for the CA to wick
into, providing a better bond between the hinge and
surrounding wood.
 Step 14
Place a T-pin in the center of each of the three CA
hinges. This will help in centering the hinges when they
are installed.
 Step 15
Slide each of the hinges into the rudder until the T-pin is
resting on the hinge line of the rudder.
 Step 16
Test fit the rudder onto the tail gear wire, guiding the wire
into the pre-drilled hole in the rudder.
