RE: Tower Hobbies Uproar 40 build
Finished up getting all the hinge slots cut for the tail feathers.
I also drilled the hole for the tail wheel wire in the rudder. I used my hinge slotting tool with the hole guide to start the drill by hand. Then using a drill press they were drilled through.
In order to cut out the area at the bottom of the rudder and “tail post” for the tail wheel bushing. I clamped the two in my vise and started drilling by hand to about 3/8” deep. Then using my hand drill I drilled the .156 hole all the way to the .093 hole in the rudder for the wire. To know when to stop I had tape around the drill bit. You can see two of the pieces together with the tail wheel in place. Note how clean the channels are even before touching with sand paper.
