Manual

[2mm] drill bit. Center the elevator servo with your radio

system and install the servo arm onto the elevator servo as

shown. Mount the elevator servo next to the rudder servo

with a gap of approximately 1/4" [6mm] between the tips of

the servo arms. Leave enough room for the throttle servo.

❏ 4. Thread a nylon clevis 20 complete turns onto a 36"

[914mm] pushrod. Slide a silicone clevis retainer onto the

clevis and connect the clevis to the third outer hole of the

rudder control horn. As you did with the aileron and ﬂ ap

pushrods, use tape or a small clamp to hold the rudder in

the neutral position. Make a mark on the pushrod where it

crosses the outer hole in the servo arm. Make a 90° bend

at the mark on the pushrod and cut off the excess pushrod

1/4" [6mm] beyond the bend. Attach the pushrod to the servo

arm using a nylon FasLink. Thread the clevis up or down on

the pushrod as necessary to center the rudder with the servo

arm perpendicular to the servo case. When satisﬁ ed, slide the

silicone clevis retainer to the end of the clevis to secure it.

❏ 5. Install the elevator pushrod in the same manner. The

clevis on the elevator pushrod should attach to the outer hole

in the elevator control horn.

Glow Engine Installation

The Cherokee .40 ARF is designed to be ﬂ own with a .40 to

.46 two-stroke glow engine, .56 four-stroke glow engine, or a

brushless out-runner motor. If you plan to install a brushless

motor, skip this section as it only contains information

relevant to installing a glow engine.

Note: This section shows photos of a two-stroke engine

being installed. The procedure for installing a four-stroke

engine is the same. Be sure to maintain the correct drive

washer distance as detailed in this section.

❏ 1. The fuel tank can be assembled as a two line system

consisting of a vent (pressure) line to the mufﬂ er and a

carb line. Filling and emptying of the tank would need to be

done through the carb line, or an optional fuel ﬁ ll valve (not

included). The tank can also be assembled as a three line

system having a vent line, carb line, and ﬁ ll line. If installing

a ﬁ ll line, puncture the top of the stopper above the sealed

off fuel tube hole. The ﬁ ll and carb lines should extend out

1/2" [13mm] beyond the stopper and the vent line should

be bent upwards and left uncut. With the tubes installed in

the stopper, ﬁ t the stopper plates loosely in place with the

3 x 25mm Phillips screw to hold the assembly together.
