5. Thread the couplers about half way into the ball links of the rudder. Hint: remove the ball links from
the rudder horn first to make this step easier and then re-install once the couplers are threaded on. Feed
the loose end of each cable into the cable slots at the rear of the fuselage and feed them forward towards
the servo mount location. A coat hanger with a hook on the end can be useful here if you can’t reach the
cable.
6. Use your radio system to center the rudder servo and attach either the supplied arm or an appropriate
arm for your servo. Thread one of the ball links about half way onto one of the threaded couplers. Feed
the loose end of one of the cables through a brass tube and then through the threaded coupler. Holding
the rudder centered, adjust the cable length as tight as possible while checking the ball link position over
the servo arm. When satisfied with the position, pinch the cable around the threaded coupler and then
feed the loose end back through the brass tube. Loop the cable back through the brass tube as before and
crimp the brass tube three times 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. Hint: Once you have established the position of the
