RE: Tomahawk-Design Bae Hawk 1: 3.5
Glued the top of the fin tube with some carbon to the fuselage top.
Started with the rudder.
W.r.t. Marc S SG Hawk - build (Virtual manual) post #64 and 65: a plastic tube is not used.
The stainless steel rod passes smoothly but precisely through the rudder and its wooden hinges.
The fin tip is strong and straight, hence no reinforcement needed.
Nevertheless i made a small wooden hinge inside the fin tip i.s.o. an alu tube.
To enable easy entrance of the rod, the beginning of the 2 mm hole has been tapered a bit.
Remark, the rudder hinges are quite long and one might be tempted to insert them all the way until the second Depron stringer.
Make sure you align the rudder correctly: the lower tip of the rudder trim surface should be aligned with the panel line at the top of the tail cap: check your pictures!
