 6. Slide the rudder tight against the fin. Make sure
to guide the tail wheel bearing into the slot at the
bottom of the fin.
Placing a #11 hobby blade between the elevator and
stabilizer to position the two will result in a nice free-
moving hinge for 3D throws without any binding.
 7. Remove the T-pins and apply thin CA to each
hinge. Make sure the hinge is fully saturated with
CA. Use a paper towel to clean up any excess CA
from the rudder and fin. Make sure to apply CA to
both sides of the hinge.
 8. Firmly grasp the rudder and gently pull on the
fin to ensure the hinges are secure and cannot be
pulled apart. Use caution when gripping the rudder
and fin to avoid crushing the structure.
 9. Work the rudder up and down several times to
work in the hinges and check for proper movement.
 10. Place the fin in position on the fuselage. Trace
the outline of the fuselage onto both sides of the fin
using a felt-tipped pen.
 11. Use a hobby knife with a #11 blade to remove
the covering from the bottom of the fin using the
same technique used for the stabilizer.
