My Feedback: (1)

The kit included a rudder servo tray and it seemed to dry fit centered in the fuse above the bottom wing saddle. I glued balsa rails into the fuse sides so setting the tray would be easier and stronger. After careful inspection I could see that the bottom 2"ish of the LE on the rudder was made of a large piece of solid balsa. I laid out a piece of string (low tech I know) and decided where I would like the horn. Using dividers I marked the position of the cable exits. I used the included cable (looped at the servo arm) and ball link ends (at the rudder horn) to finish up the linkage.

I reinforced the rudder tray with some hard balsa planks along each side of the servo cutout and across the front and rear face/edge. I also cut a couple lightening holes on either side of the servo. On one side I also cut slots for a narrow Velcro strap (Rx).

I also installed an F3AU tailwheel while working on the rudder setup.
