Step 13. Spread the two threaded pushrods apart (elevator
pushrod) approximately 1
1
/
2
" apart. Insert the elevator pushrod
into the fuselage, threaded end first, so that the threaded rods
come out of the elevator pushrod exits in the fuselage. Thread a
nylon clevis on each rod 12-16 turns. Attach each clevis to an
elevator control horn’s outermost hole. It’s a good idea to place a
piece of fuel tubing (7 mm long) over each clevis to prevent the
clevis from accidentally coming open in flight.
Step 14. Insert the rudder pushrod threaded end first into the
fuselage so that it exits the right side of the fuselage near the
rudder control horn. Thread a nylon clevis onto the threaded end
12-16 turns then attach it to the rudder control horn’s outermost
hole. Be sure to place a piece of fuel tubing over the clevis to
prevent it from coming open accidentally.
Step 15. Center the elevator, rudder, and throttle servos by
turning on the transmitter, then the receiver. Position the servo
arms so they are 90 degrees to the pushrod assemblies. Use a
felt-tipped pen or pencil to mark where the unthreaded ends of
the rudder and elevator pushrods pass their respective servo arm.
Step 16. Using pliers, make an L-bend at the marked locations
on the elevator and rudder pushrods. Cut off any excess rod.
Step 17. Insert the L-bend into the servo arm of the elevator
and rudder servos as shown below. It may be necessary to enlarge
the servo arm holes slightly to accept the nylon wire keeper.
