I have been looking at the instructions for the rudder, and after a number of
sketches I think I know what they are trying to tell me to do! I think the
manual need a few more sketches, particularly of the finished part.
Here are a couple bits I am having difficulties with:
"The root should be formed with a complete radius (see figure 4) from the
leading
edge diminishing in size to the trailing edge"
I am assuming that "complete radius" means a perfect semi-circle.
"Round off the tip of the rudder core ... matching the your fin tip as closely
as
possible." Since I am getting the XS kit, I don't have a fin to match yet.
Should I put off doing the rudder until I get the fuselage?
"Also round off the leading edge to the tip and root." This could either mean
that I should round off the sharp corner between the leading edge and tip/root
or
that the rounding of the tip and root should be continued part way down the
leading edge. Neither one makes sense, since either possibility would mess up
the nice intersection of the fin to the rudder.
Also, where can I get a list of the mods? Shouldn't I have gotten that with
the manual?
