control horn faces down.
3. Secure the horizontal stabilizer pieces in place using the two included 3 x 12 mm
self tapping screws (B).
4. Attach the pushrod keeper to the elevator control horn.

Control Surface Centering
After assembly transmitter setup and binding, confirm that the control surfaces
are centered. If the control surfaces are not centered, mechanically center the
control surfaces before flying.
1. Set the trims and sub-trims to 0
2. If they are not centered, loosen the screw in the quick connector linkage on the
servo horn.
3. Slide the pushrod in the quick connector to change the length of the linkage
between the servo arm and the control horn so the control surface is centered.
4. Apply thread lock compound to the screw threads and tighten the screw to
secure the pushrod at the desired length.
Lightweight and Heavy Stabilizer Joiners
The Timber X includes two stabilizer joiners; a lightweight composite joiner, and a heavier steel joiner. For tame flying and maximum stability in general flight use
the lightweight joiner to keep the CG at the front of the recommended CG range. For maximum performance and stability in high alpha maneuvers, use the steel
joiner to shift the CG to the rear of the recommended CG range.
