Clevis Installation
1. Rotate the clevis to the desired length and align the slot with the horn.
2. Pull the tube from the clevis to the linkage.
3. Carefully spread the clevis.
4. Insert the clevis pin into the desired hole in the control horn.
5. Move the tube to hold the clevis on the control horn.
Control Surface Centering
After assembly and transmitter setup, conrm that the control surfaces are
centered. If the control surfaces are not centered, mechanically center the
control surfaces by adjusting the linkages.
If adjustment is required, turn the clevis on the linkage to change the length of
the linkage between the servo arm and the control horn.
After binding a transmitter to the aircraft receiver, set the trims and sub-trims to
0, then adjust the clevises to center the control surfaces.
