| The rudder servo, a Multiplex "Micro mc V2", is held in place with a simple
plywood box. Use slow cure epoxy for this type of installation.
The servo is mounted upside down so it clears the rear wheel and the servo arm lines
up with the fairings one each side.
Bottom left shows the box before it's glued in place, note the slot for the servo mount.
also you can see the linkage that will rotate the rudder.
Bottom right you can see the servo in place. It is held in with a piece of plywood
with a slot like the front of the box and two allen head screws so you can remove it
if it goes bad.
The assembly is set forward so the rudder post can recess in the fin. And you can
see how the servo arm lines up with the fairings.
The rudder is mounted with typical wire and nylon mounts that are mounted
to a plywood rudder post that's epoxyed to the fin.
