When setting the rudders, raise the flap to be sure it makes contact on the trailing edge of the rudder.
Again, don't use much glue. Lightly tack the rudder in place, you'll probably be adjusting it later on.
Here the rudder was glued with it's root edge right beside the pencil line from the last step.
The placement of the rudders facing the raised flaps is more critical than the opposite rudder. Glue the flap facing rudders first, then glue up the rudders on the other side.
From the side, be sure the rudder leading edge tips are in line with each other.
From the back, be sure the rudders are in a good cruciform shape.
Everything got white glue fillets, then a final fillet of Titebond M&TG.
The 90 degree angle is too tight for your finger.
I used a Q-tip to smooth the fillet in the root edge areas.
