(Another repair question I know.....)
How do I go about reattaching a rudder that has come off completely? The rudder was held to the main plane by some paper tape which is between 2 sheets of depron - however that has torn completely. Am I right to go about taking the rudder off the control horn (which is the only thing holding it on), use tape on both sides of the rudder to reattach to the tail, making sure that the 2 pieces of tape touch in the middle, then reattach and adjust the control linkage?
