Required Tools and Adhesives
Drill Drill bit: 1/16", 7/64"
Hobby knife Thin CA
Threadlocking compound Felt-tipped pen
Step 1
Slide the pushrod wires into the tubes in the fuselage.
Thread the clevis onto the wires a minimum of 10
turns. Repeat this step for both elevator linkages and
the rudder linkage.
Step 2
Use a 7/64" drill bit to drill out the mounting holes in the
control horn. Attach the elevator clevis to the control horn.
Position the control horn on the elevator so the control
rod is straight, and the holes in the control horn aligns
with the hinge line of the elevator. Mark the position for
the mounting holes using a felt-tipped pen.
Step 3
Drill three 1/16" holes at the locations marked in the
previous step. The holes only need to be 7/16" deep:
don’t drill through the top of the elevator. Install one of
the #2 x 1/2" screws in a hole drilled, and then remove
it. Place 2–3 drops of thin CA into the hole to harden the
wood. This will eliminate the potential of the screw pulling
out of the wood. Repeat this for each of the three holes.
Attach the control horn using three #2 x 1/2" screws.
