mming of servos, EG highly recommends you seek
guide and into the aluminum steering arm. Tighten the set screw firmly. Test the deflection of the rudder
to make sure there is no binding and that the steering wire does not slide out of the support guide.
RUDDER CONTROL INSTALLATION:
1. The ARF is supplied with a high quality set of pull-pull cables and ball-links. Servo openings are
provided in the aft section of the fuselage below the horizontal stabilizer for those builders using a 100 cc
engine and needing to move weight aft. The below instructions are for the pull-pull cable option.
2. Install your rudder servo(s) into the precut locations in the fuselage. You will need 3 inch arms on the
servo(s). Or you can mount the supplied rudder arm to your circular servo arm. If you use two rudder
servos it is best to connect them to two separate channels and mix them together in your radio. Set up
your radio accordingly and center the rudder servo(s). The geometry of your servo arms relative to each
other and the rudder horn is critical for proper rudder operation without binding or excess cable slack.
3. If you are using two rudder servos you will need to set up the servo coupling very accurately to assure
zero binding and drain on your batteries. Threaded couplers and ball links are provided for your use. If
you are new to multiple servo ganging and progra
the assistance of an experienced modeler in your area. Misprogramming of servos can lead to very high
drain on your batteries and possible servo failures.
4. Locate the pull-pull cable set, threaded couplers, brass swaging tubes, and ball-links. If the cable is
one long piece, cut it into two equal length pieces. Thread one end of the one cable through a brass tube
and then through one of the threaded couplers. Run the cable back through the brass tube and then loop it
back through a second time. Using a set of crimping pliers, place three crimps just tight enough not to cut
the brass tube but enough to securely hold the wire in place. Cut off the excess cable with wire cutters.
Wick thin CA into the brass tube to help hold the cable secure. Repeat for the other cable.
