30) Push right completely on the rudder control
stick. While holding the control stick fully right, use
a ruler and measure the amount the trailing edge of
the rudder moves right. This measurement should
be 1/2”. See figure # 6 below.
Figure # 6
❑
31) If the control surface deflection is more or
less than 1/2” it must be changed. If your radio is
equipped with End Point Adjustments (EPA), make
those adjustments using the transmitter. (Refer to your
radio guide for further details.) If your radio does
not have this feature, you can still make the adjust-
ments to the pushrod manually.
❑
32) If the rudder is moving more than 1/2”,
move the adjustable servo connector in one hole to-
ward the center of the servo horn to decrease the
control deflection. If the rudder is moving less than
1/2”, move the Z-bend one hole closer to the base of
the control horn to increase the control deflection.
When adjusted properly, the rudder should move 1/2”
both right and left.

two plywood rails inside the hatch in the bottom of
the fuselage. Press down firmly on the receiver to
secure it into place. See photo # 20 below.

☛
Make sure you install the receiver with the an-
tenna facing the back of the airplane.
❑
3) Plug the elevator and rudder servo leads into
their proper slots in the receiver. Wrap the wires up
and push them between the receiver and the fuselage
side to keep them out of the way.
❑
4) Using a drill with a 5/64” drill bit, drill a hole
through the right side of the fuselage, about 1” up
from the bottom and directly across from the back of
the receiver.
☛
Be careful not to drill into the side of the receiver.
❑
5) Unwrap the receiver antenna and carefully
feed it out through the hole in the fuselage side.
❑
6) Using wire cutters, carefully make an antenna
mount out of an extra servo horn. Cut the arm into
the shape shown. See figure # 7 below.
Figure # 7
❑
7) Using a drill with a 5/64” drill bit, enlarge
the two holes in the servo arm that the antenna will
pass through.
