Photo 2 – air lines colour coded and run to the centre area of the component boards. The Speed
brake air lines have been run to this spot too.
Step 6: Vertical Fin and Rudder
•
Before attaching the aft section of the fuse, the vertical fin and horizontal stabilizers need to
be attached and the wires run from the servos that are fitted into the tailplane and fin for
the elevators and rudder. This will make it easier.
•
In most kits, the hinges are preinstalled in the control surfaces, but must be glued into the
flight surface. This however is not true for the rudder and fin and elevators as FB Jets has
utilised the screw pin method. The servos for the rudder and elevator fit nicely into both the
fin and the tailplane making it easy for you to install the servo arms and pushrods together
with the control horns.
•
Trial fit the rudder into the vertical stab and makes sure the screw pin is securely fitted.
•
When we installed the rudder servo, we marked the cut in the fin that we needed to make
for the rudder servo arm to move freely.
•
Trim and sand to achieve the maximum throw your servo arm will allow.
•
Trial fit the servo into the fin ready for the final attachment. Be sure to power up the servo
here and centre it before completing the final fit. Position the brackets such that the spindle
of the servo faces forward when installed in the servo well. Do not use the rubber grommets
supplied with the servo, but bolt it directly to the brackets. Use Loctite as required.
