rnbraud Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Okay, I am trying to drill the holes for my rudder hinges. I searched the archives for tips on how to hold the hinges on the inside of the winglet in order to match drill the holes for the screws. I didn't find much. I was able to stuff foam in the cavity in the rudder itself in order to line them up and drill the holes in the rudder. However, I don't see how I can match drill the holes in the winglet. I have read about the "Hack-saw" method but I can't visualize how that would hold the hinge against the inside of the winglet. Can someone point to a website or description, or even better pictures on how to drill these holes? Any and all comments, suggestions, and chastisements are welcome.
