Default RE: PAU 36% Edge 540 Assembly

Thanks Sweetpea,

Hopfully I'll get some flying in tomorrow. Man, long hard winter this year.

On to the rudder! Before we install the rudder, I am going to add the hardware to the rudder before attaching it to the fuse. Install the steel tiller horn just behind the hinge line on the bottom of the rudder using the two small wood screws. Again remove and wick thin CA in the holes and reinstall.

Included is a HD pull-pull system from Dubro. Also there’s a longer 8/32 stainless threaded rod in the hardware set. Locate the hard point and install the longer 8/32 rod and supplied hardware from Dubro. You don’t have to use the nuts to lock everything in place if you use the loc-tite like before.

Now that we’re done with that, will go ahead and epoxy the rudder in place. The hinges are already installed on the rudder side so this is a fast step. Once the epoxy has set we’ll attach the tail wheel springs.
