setting the hinges for about 45-degrees of throw.
Insert the bottom hinge, then work upward inserting
the middle then top hinge.

epoxy to glue the hinges in place. You will need to
remove the rudder so you can use a toothpick to
apply epoxy in the hinge pockets of the fuselage
and to the hinges. Use rubbing alcohol and a
paper towel to remove any excess epoxy from the
hinges or rudder.

rudder through its range of motion a number of
times to make sure there is no epoxy in the knuckle.
